I had read several different accounts as to the proper shade of red for B&O boxcars in the post-1946 era. The few color photos I recall seem to lean towards a bright orange/red oxide color. What shade of Polyscale paint would best fit a wagontop boxcar during the early 1950s prior to the use of the billboard lettering. Would the pre-1946 be similar or more like Polyscale freight car red?
