This is what he's talking about. Dark brown, white, and red-orange.

1802. The HRRC had it for awhile. Its now painted in B&O colors. It was in Railpace Recently. I have video footage of this engine no pics. I model the HRRC and wanted to add this one to the roster. I just want the colors correct. Thanks
Here is a complete all time Providence & Worchester rostor they had or have 4 GP 9's rostored. 1701, 1702, 7189, and 7205 all are EX PRR units.

no matter the weather or the country I'll still be trackside!
Floquil or Poly Scale CP Red and Roof Brown are a very close match.
I am looking for a good paint match to the current modern Providence and Worcester Railroad paint scheme. I'm having trouble finding a red that will match. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Check with the P&W Yahoo group. They might be able to help.
Or you can ask the gentleman that runs Highball Graphics. I didn't see any notes on the modern decal sets that listed colors, but he might have the information handy.

The project was shelved until recently. I still haven't been able to find the answer.
