Brunswick Green or Tuscan Heavyweights

I do not think that any passenger cars were ever Brunswick green.  That was a locomotive color. The green cars would have been Pullman color, or something close. My personal preference would have been green cars.  I never did like the Tuscan red passenger cars, they look to much like boxcars. 

PRR passenger equipment was tuscan seemingly forever. The Fleet of Modernism paint scheme of two tuscan shades and multiple stripes was used for the late 1930's streamlined equipment order. Those cars were repainted single tuscan shade with simplified striping by the 1950's.

The PRR's first passenger E-7 diesels and the very early E-8 units were painted brunswick green with 5 stripes. They were repainted tuscan during the 1950's.

The PRR F-3 units were freight units and were painted dark green locomotive enamel (black).

Basically, green diesels with tuscan cars would be okay.

I like Green behind green, red behind red. Red is best for the fleet of modernism .

       Green for freight

Gold five stripe, always.

Decisions, decisions...

For my late 40s PRR themed layout, it is always:

- Green (DGLE) five stripe pulling red (Tuscan).

- Green (DGLE) single stripe pulling freight (exception-5 stripers pulling expresses).

What a timely question as I now have 3 PRR locomotives, all green and I was hoping to find green cars to match.  Apparently that will not be possible, so that saves me some time.  Pity.
