@Krieglok posted:Thanks Jim. I looked at Hobbylinc and saw they had two CNJ Greens in Trucolor. I bought both to see which one matches…fingers crossed!
Tom ... thank you providing me all the info on Hayden Chemical in Garfield (over in the "Show Me Your Oil Tankers" topic thread). I've collected the NJ company freight cars that Atlas has produced through the years ... now I can add a Hayden Chemical tanker.
I'm going to order that decal set from Tichy. I'm a semi-novice with decals, and have only used those from Microscale. Should I use the same application technique with the Tichy decals as I do with the Microscale?
Thanks, Jim
@CNJ #1601 posted: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.
Joe ... have you painted/decaled a CNJ SW9? If so, could please tell me what you did?
Is Austerity Green correct for the SW9?
Decals? Many years ago, Tom's Trains in Scotch Plains, NJ sold a custom Microscale Decal set specific for them. They're all gone.
Also, I enjoyed reading your email explaining the photos in your profile. I love that stuff. My Mother-in-law is from Wilkes-Barre, with the men in the family mining coal. I guess your Grandpa helped make sure the anthracite got to the Ashley breaker?
Thanks, Jim
