Mr Bachmann

Can you tell me what colour red I need to find to match the roof of these cars please?

Thanks

Dear mike,
If I recall correctly, I used Floquil boxcar red on the prototypes.
Have fun!

Thank you very much Mr Bachmann

But unfortunately Floquil Boxcar red isn't anywhere near the colour of my other WP&YR roofs!

How about Floquil Caboose red, also at

While I have your attention, do you also recall what the WP&YR passenger car green/grey is?

Thanks again


Mike

Dear Mike,
I'm SURE that the originals were Floquil Pullman Green.
Colors seem to shift over the years- the first White Pass cars i did were in 1990!
Best,
