I also agree with Ken. Bronze gold fades on model trains when using any
combination, mix or type of Pullman green paints. I have used both the bronze
and deluxe, and removed the bronze decals. I use deluxe exclusively. Weather or
not the prototypes used bronze and it faded, I don't really care. I want to be
able to see and read the names and numbers on my cars, so deluxe is the only
one I will use. I refuse the use bronze, no matter how prototype correct it may
be or not.
