@Will Ebbert posted:The primary color in the locomotives in the early years was black, green cane around in the 60s. The secondary color many people assume to be white. Southern called it "imitation aluminum" and it definitely has a metallic gray shade to it.
And you're definitely right about being able to paint the roofs black. I have considered that possibility myself.
I was referring to the WofA unit, not the Green or Black Tuxedo units. Yes, both black and green came in two separate schemes decades apart, which always makes things difficult in modeling, except when it comes to second generation diesels and beyond. I think Scott's and even MTH's rendition of the imitation aluminum is really good.
