Paul,
You will find many answers to paint questions on the BRHS Website under
Modelers Depot. You will find a Paint and Decal Shop that identifies
different eras and types of equipment. Check it out. I am about to make a
major revision to the page but would be willing to send the data off list if
you are interested.
My offer to distribute this data off-list is open to all members.
Regards,
Tom Koch
BRHS Website
Paint & Decal Shop Coordinator

Any answers to the second part of the questions.
We are debating what colour we should paint the bridges and other steel
structures.
As we are located across the pond, could you add a description of the colour
as well the paint used.
