scheme?



Listees,

I'm in final stage of  creating 8600-8899 series "troop kitchen" express car 
for my Exposition Flyer. Tomorrow would like finish the paint job.
Before that, I need some advice.

1. At the time period 1947 - 1949 did those cars have roman style lettering 
(the gothic style came later). Right?

Roman


2. At that period were those cars panted "pullman green" with "dulux gold" 
(dark yellow) lettering. Right?

Not clear.  It makes sense that it should be Dulux, but the PSC cars researched 
by Al Hoffman had Gold Leaf.


3. Trucks were black (right?).

Yes, black trucks.


4. What about roof? Pullman green or black? (I have really no idea. I've 
seen in color only model (HO) of the later paint scheme with gothic 
lettering. The roof was black, but not sure if that model was correct ....)

Roof was Pullman Green - no vents.  The air vents were covered up with thin 
welded plates.

One other thing - in this time period, the windows were not plated over.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Sooner the better - hope to finish 
painting tomorrow)

Thanks and regards,
Michal Basta
