The GN Man posted:I would consider it, but probably not from MTH. They have consistently gotten the colors incorrect for the BSB scheme. The MTH GN blue is too dark (looks like Conrail blue) and they apply gloss black on the roofs which should be dark charcoal gray. By the way, a BSB passenger train really needs two SDP40 or SDP45 engines, and NO observation car!
I would think that if this project was to be done as a small custom run, MTH would work with the sponsor to get the colors just the way they are supposed to be.
Keep in mind, even if you had a paint chip off an actual car, it may not match the way you think it should. I always thought that Floquil's version of BN Cascade green looked horrible, and Scalecoat was much better. Floquil seemed more dulled down and faded, where Scalecoat was vibrant as if it came straight from the paint shop.
