prrjim posted:I finally found a reference to the color guide for Steam locos. This is reproduction of the PRR instructions from 1929 for painting locomtives. It was published in the PRRT&HS magazine/journal in 1968.
It specifically states different colors for the cab roof and tender deck (cistern top) and different mixes for new work vs old, and for steel cab roofs vs wood.
Thanks for posting that attachment. When people are saying oxide how does that color play into freight car color? Same name for same thing? The bright red is see on many prr steam engines doesn't look like freight car color, or freight car color mixed with black.
