Have you guys watched a real train pass by? No two locomotives have the same shade of paint on them. Some are faded, some were painted at a different time or location. It's perfectly accurate to have locomotives or cars not match exactly. Why people get so obsessed about models matching when real trains don't is beyond me.
Heck even auto manufactures don't get paint exactly the same in a year run of cars. There can be 4 or 5 color card variations for the paint code your car is painted in.
