color:#1F497D'>I’m sorry, Steve, but you can take my name off that list. I
never said any such thing. I’m not particularly happy with the Branchline color
either. I can’t speak for the others, but I seem to remember that Dressler
kept looking for a better match than the IHC/AHM/Rivarossi cars. BTW, the
current IHC color is terrible! Haven’t seen the Division Point M1, so can’t
comment. But I Have been at this long enough to realize that the choice of a
good N&W red is highly subjective. You probably wouldn’t like the way I
paint mine either. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></span></p>
