Question re: Athearn PRR 7203 color

[NW Mailing List]

 The leased PRR Geeps were painted whatever color PRR wanted, as they were ready for delivery to PRR and only leased by N&W. So I assume they were Brunswick green (which is ALMOST black.)

Several months ago, there was a discussion here re: the 30 PRR GP-9s numbered 7200-7229 (maybe 7201-7230) leased to N&W circa 1957-58.  Athearn produced 2 in the 7200-series and I found on ebay Saturday.  I asked seller about color which appears to be Brunswick despite the 7203 being correct for the leased batch.

  

I thought the leased engines were all black.  Is 7203 a foobie?  Below is a photo from the seller.  The body appears to be green and the seller confirmed today that he thinks Brunswick is correct.

  

Here’s the Athearn web site description (no color mention):

  

Pennsylvania 
   
   - #7184, #7203 
   
   - GP9 Phase III A-unit high short hood with cab body style
   - "F" on the sill is at the LONG hood end
   - Cab armrest no sunshade track
   - Leslie S-3 air horn all bells forward
