Can anyone please recommend Paint that would match this as closely as possible?

Thanks for any help with this.

Surprized no one said anything to You yet! Anyway…If Your still hanging in there… can’t really help with the color scheme of greys, there appears to be a lot of different color schemes with F- units. I’m guessing early 50’s… see if You can find what You want to match from these pic’s and maybe it will help others to help You:

When You click on link…scroll down to ‘‘Images of Bangor Aroostook roster’’ To view pic’s of all kinds.

Thanks for the reply and the links. The model railroading has been set aside for the summer so I haven’t gotten into the build quite yet but I’m still collecting parts and doing research.
