Great, now if the Society would provide those color chips to manufacturers 
producing CB&Q equipment, maybe we wouldn't have 'fifty shades of gray' on our 
models.

Another example of color infidelity is the grayback color of Walthers P2K F-3s 
and F-7s compared to Intermountain FTs, F3 and F-7s. I think Intermountain got 
it right, while Walthers P2K is yellowish.

The colors are being done from the
societies color chips that were
available some years ago.
