s discussed earlier, the "red" cab-roof was not a "color scheme", but a maintenance measure, intended to shield against the corrosive action of soot and cinders - it was a red lead relative, similar to an oxide red. Some modelers' paint lines (particularly military models) have a color called "red lead". That would not be bad. Such materials were often shop-mixed, so some variation is not only allowable but prototypical . . . Marshall Thayer Mt. Pleasant, IA ------------------------ Yahoo!
