The colors are trainenamels #517 light red, which is an exact match, and Krylon Ivory, thanks to suggestions from PAt and rob.
I used S&W dry transfers. You can see in both photos that I'm still learning the process. One of the Lionel Lines decals isn't aligned right on the letterboard and two L's in PULLMAN don't look right. Dry transfer is a lot of work, and I'm not sure it's enough better than waterslide decals to be worth the effort.
I’ve seen plenty of factory tinplate with minor errors, crooked lettering, and mis-stamps,….your cars look great,….result!..
