Tony,



I haven’t seen any builders photos of the DRGW 1958 covered hopper, but I
have never seen any car with the dark color. We had a discussion about the
color of the DRGW car on the DRGW list and the conclusion was that it is to
dark. Jim Eager even stated “Way too dark”. I made the choice to paint my
cars in the color I have seen on pictures and videos taken during the
sixties, my main modeling interest.

I don't know about the D&RGW. Did you have evidence the dark color was
wrong, or did it just not look
right?
