You are right, D&RGW Freight car red is the correct name. I like the color and it looks correct compared to photos of the old 40’ 12 panel cars. Roland Från: STMFC@...

Ämne: RE: [STMFC] D&RGW Boxcar Color Poly Scale has D&RGW Brown, but that's a depot trim color, not a boxcar color. It goes with D&RGW Cream, the primary depot color. They also have a D&RGW Freight Red, which may be intended for boxcars, stock cars, etc. I don't have this color, nor have I seen it. I have the D&RGW Brown, and it's definitely not a freight car color. Nelson -----Original Message-----

I'm at a dead end re color. Sunshine's prototype date sheet mentions "boxcar brown," and the kit instructions are silent re a recommended model paint color. The RPC freight car color table offers no help on this one. Not being a D&RGW guy -- any recommendations re a Floquil color that will get me into the proper color ballpark?
