DRG&W Yellow is too yellow. DRG&W Orange is too Orange. What do you use for Aspen Gold? Here is a GP7 shell on the LifeLike GP20. Thanks, Loco1999
Hemi, That loco looks great! I only see DRGW Orange and DRGW Gold in the Modelflex. Is there a DRGW Yellow too? Thanks, Loco1999
And what is the difference in DRGW gold and DRGW orange. One passenger and one freight? Which colors match Micro Scale decals? And...that sure is a great looking engine!
Loco1999 and Flash, My mistake, it is DRGW Gold. The orange is too orange for engines delivered and painted before the former Conrail GP40's and GP60's. All Tunnel Motors, SD45/50/9/7's, all GP30/35/non-Conrail lineage GP40's and cab unit engines got Aspen Gold/DRGW Gold. Only the GP60's were delivered in DRGW Orange, as well as the Kansas City repainted conrail GP40 variants... Thanks for the kind comments--it still needs a little dirt...
Thanks Guys. I am stripping the paint off that bottom piece. Where can I order some modelflex? Thanks, Loco1999
Any store that stocks walyther's products and order it, and N scale Supply and Caboose Hobbies (right off the top of my head) in Denver stock it.
You have got to be kidding me!! No wonder I couldn't seem to match up those paint colors. All I had to do was ask the question.
Wow - I never knew that either! No wonder the sill on the GP35 that I painted 10 years ago doesn't match the decals! Live and learn; thanks Hemi! . . . guess it needs a little more weathering now. . .
