I’m trying to find a decent color match for a 1950’s era B&O wagon top boxcar, similar to that on display in the yard at the B&O museum in Baltimore.
The color applied to this specimen, as well as a nearby B&O M-27 boxcar appears to be a dull red, and not the predominant brown color similar to oxide or primers of most boxcars of the era.
I understand that this dull red was common to B&O boxcars until around 1960.
Does any railroad model paint company make a similar color?
Thanks,
Dale
P.S., I have images of the boxcars on display in the yard at the B&O museum that I can share if needed: I can be contacted off-forum at Lawman29@ameritech.net
