@Dave_C posted:Seeing no color photos exist of this scheme or if a Berkshire was even painted this way. It’s hard to say What shades are correct. That brass model is a few years old and retailed for around $2500.00. I can’t imagine Lionel going to that level of detail paint wise. I hope you guys can get one made. Harry could probably detail one up like that. That brass version has to be one of the sharpest looking freight steamers ever made.
These were indeed painted this way, and if Kline could get it close, why can’t it be done today?…..any painter worth his salt could accomplish this, …..it’s not an ancient Chinese secret…..😉
