John,
This isn't a comment on the paint for the "Graybacks" but remember the DPS
was the exact color when the units were painted. Not after a few years of sun,
road grime, and trips through the wash rack. I think the Acuflex color is very
accurate for units which are brand new and right out of the EMD Paint Shops.
Remember we're all going to go to our graves debating the "right" Burlington
F Unit color. It's a fact! Now the mix I use is a little darker than the
Athearn paint, I use a couple of drops of silver in the paint, but again that's
the
color I like, but then the Athearn's right out of the box looked great too!
I guess the easy way to model CB&Q F's are 9960-9962 ABC, while they were
still in silver!
