Once again, I humbly call on those with knowledge. Thank you.
What color paint would Alco engine paint be ? The kind they spray down the engine block,covers and pipes etc.
Just picked up two Phanton Hobbies 3D PROTON printed Alco 251 18 cylinder engines . This will be a totally new material to work with. Kinda excited about these new engines.
Either flat car loads or emergency power or stuck inside a shell or whatever. The ebay seller also has HO EMD 567 18 cylinders engines. He did have other Alco & EMD engines available but they sold.
I just learned that at least with Alco. The customer could have a choice of paint colors. Orange,gray or a mint green color. Gonna go with a darker mint green for my power units.
Yep, sure is. I seem to recall watching the crawler-transporter in operation in the movie Apollo 13 and it sure sounded like they dubbed in EMD turbo diesel sounds [%-)]
I found a Valspar* color called Flat La Fonda Mirage that makes a pretty good institutional “sea-foam” green color. Great for passenger car interiors, too.
I’m probably a little late to this dance, but I seem to remember both gray and seafoam green on prime movers on the SP. Tamiya makes a reasonable sort of seafoam green spray paint called TS60.
