Steve,
A bit of patience is in order...not all of us have photographic memories and
need to research in order to give correct answers.
The only thing in the BRHS archives that indicates the "mineral red" color
you seek, is from CB&Q Painting & Styling Diagram No. 46292 for the wooden
waycars. the notes for waycars painted in other than Chinese Red are as
follows:
"Body, trucks and under frame to be painted with Pittsburg Plate Glass Co
Carhide Synthetic Red Steel Freight Car Paint #UC-33202."
If you can find a PPG jobber that can get a color from this number, let me
know.
The Modelflex Maroon Tuscan is the color I've used and I've never had
anybody tell me that it looks wrong.

Subject: [BRHSlist] Mineral Red Chip
Hi,
I put this request out to the List last week and didn't get a response,
which is a bit surprising considering all the modelers out there, unless
everyone is trying to keep their "mineral red" concoction a secret.
I've been asked by an S-Scale manufacturer to provide either a proper color
chip or paint brand and number for the CB&Q "Mineral Red." The BRHS website
lists Modleflex (Badger) MF#165-1615 Maroon Tuscan Oxide Red. This may well
be the best color match but I wondered if there are other paint versions as
well.
Otherwise, I'll go with this one.
Regards,
Steve
