Intermountain isn't the only miscreant. I had the same problem with a purple RI E6 from BLI. Not even close to RI maroon. Then there are the six shades of CB&Q gray from Walthers (three different shades on GP-7s and SD-7s), BLI (two different shades on NW-2 and SW-9), and Bowser (actually the closest to the Q color card). I ended up masking and repainting the grays. I haven’t repainted the purple on the E6, but it's begging me to do so.

My original question was in part a reaction to the recent release by Intermountain of Bx-37’s in N scale. Nicely done models, but... Well, see pics below. Both are IM cars. If I’m the company rep asked to use my judgment, what do I do? Regards, Otto
