Are you referring to the very light grey (it always looked like white to me) used when the CNR dropped the green/black/and gold colours, and introduced the black and very light grey scheme, along with the CN “noodle”, in red?

I don’t recall any other CN passenger equipment in grey.

I am new to posting here. Have you looked at Rapido website they have Proto Paint that might work. I have used the CPR Tuscan and CPR Steam Grey and they work great for me.

330016 CN Grey #11 and 330017 CN Lettering Grey #17

Yes, I’m interested in that very light gray on the passenger cars.

I actually got the answer in an Railroad Model Craftsman article a couple of montha ago. I beleive it was CN gray #17.

I thought Rapido discontinued their Proto-paint line.
