Hi Tom…I’m a CNJ fan and modeler and have faced this issue before. As CNJ Jim mentioned above, Tru-Color’s “CNJ Deep Sea Green” is the closest color match I’ve found to the prototypical CNJ green for its early road diesel fleet.
It may not be a perfect match for MTH’s interpretation of CNJ diesel green, but it should get you pretty close. I tend to weather everything, so that makes it easier to blend everything together.
Jim’s comments above regarding CNJ “Austerity Green” are spot on. It was used on the later all-green (no toothpaste stripes) locomotive paint scheme.

Thanks, Joe.

I appreciate the input. I have some Tru-Color Deep Sea Green on the way.

The weathering is a good way to blend “not quite matching” paint tones. I usually don’t weather locomotives, but being this one is a “Frankenstein” project, it will likely get some road dirt applied.
