Hello, I have a 2-8-8-2 virginian lionel legacy I got in a great trade. Since the railsounds are generic, I want to make it a HH1.
I have a new boiler and tender shell comming in, that is NW. So the questions are in the colors, Lionel and MTH have different color schemes for these. MTH has red roof and red window frames, while Lionel is all black. Im trying to figure out what is the correct scheme. Im leaning on leaving the roof black and window frames red, and just spray over the cab number and tender, then print out some water slide decals in buff.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking PRR did the bare minimum on these when they got them from NW.
Thanks
