Painting the Caboose

[NW Mailing List]

Mike
You always submit great quality photos! 👍

BTW.......I would think there would be a specific designated color of paint used by the N & W for cabooses  on file in the archives (?).....but yes, the paint job on on the caboose in Abington looks great. 
I am sure some the more knowledgeable members/contributors would know more specifics & if any major paint mfg can match the original color. 

Best regards
