The MTH engine appears washed out. I've seen a lot of Milwaukee engines, and the MTH looks to be too light a shade of orange. Just IMHO, of course. Below is a Milwaukee engine shown previously on the Forum by noted modeler Santiago, very representative of the right color. (Note the lighting that he used in his shot is brighter than in Iron Horse's picture, so it might appear just a little lighter.) It's also based on an Atlas O model (Atlas O is noted for their color accuracy). Regardless of all the arguments about how lighting affects colors (and it certainly does), orange colors this different show it's really no contest as to whether the MTH is too light a shade. But you can decided if the MTH or Lionel is closer.
