I have an Athearn Genesis F unit set in Lehigh Valley Cornell red. I would like to paint a B unit and this paint looks lighter than some models. What paint brand is the best match for this athearn cornell red or is there a good mix for this. Any help would be great. Thanks Mark
Oh man, that’s a loaded question. Pick one and you can probably find a picture in color validating it.

The O & W had similar problems with the diesel gray. the thing to remember is that a lighter “B” unit may be “older” and therefor a bit more weathered than a newer, shinier “A” unit. if its really too light you might add a little maroon to darken it up.
Try asking these guys
They have an upcoming open house and an excellent layout.
