Railroad colors

Hey all,


Just a quick question regarding railroad colors...

I'm planning on redoing my Lionel Alcos in Union Pacifiic livery and my Marx E units in Rio Grande schemes...so..

my question is....what colors do I buy? Do I go with straight yellow and grey for the UP locos, and straight yellow and silver for the Rio Grande paint?..

..or, do I try to locate paints that are authentic?

I know Floquil makes a ton of railroad colors, but the paint I found for UP paint schemes looks too orange per the pics I've seen in magazines and on the internet. I couldn't find a match for Rio Grande yellow.

Help, any help would be appreciated:D


Cheers, Ian

Reckers, Jersey hard rolls are so bad, mold won't grow on them. And there isn't a coffee cup that can hold enough coffee to soften them. I think they changed their name to "rocks".
