New Haven colors?

Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me the colors used for the paint on this engine. Here is the link: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 87&nseq=60 Also what type of font is used for the basic New Haven lettering and what font is used for the fancy New Haven lettering. Thanks for the help...

I can't tell you the color code or specific color name, except to say that it was an orange/red. Having said that, I can also tell you firsthand from growing up next to the Providence Main Line in Boston, that New Haven's "orange" usually was displayed as more of an orange tone as it weathered (very soon after the paint was applied). When I saw the current versions of the retro-NH scheme on the Fl9's, I thought that they were way off as all the Fl9's that I saw were much more orange without the red. You can probably find paint specific for NH in a good hobby store.

You asked the same question on the http://www.nhrhta.org/ You are much more likely to get a good answer there than on
here.

You'll need two fonts to simulate New Haven lettering...

58 Rodeo: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/baselinefonts/58-rodeo/

Atlantic: http://www.railfonts.com/cgi/font_shop/ ... age13.html

For a complete guide and history to the "McGinnis" look of the mid-1950s, you'll want this book:
