The photo I supplied DP was of an M1 freshly painted. What red DP choose to paint the car is their business. If anyone wants to see the M1 models in a properly lit photo go to <A href="http://www.DivisionPoint.com">www.DivisionPoint.com</A>. There are two photos of the painted models under the N&W heavyweight pass. car listing. Also if someone is looking for a blue version of a BEj photo one can be found on page 5 of Jim Nichols book - N&W Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment. Any serious N&W modeler will have a copy of Jim's book and would have known that a photo of the BEj was within. Also railway postal cars did not have "venetian blinds" but were required to have barred windows account the carrying of certified mail containing cash and other valuables.

When you look at videos or pictures of N&W prototypes the colors go through a range of variation. As the N&W passenger train passes by the different colors are amazing. I've pretty much stopped losing sleep over the various colors on models. If it has more red than PRR Tuscan and stays less red that a fire engine it probably matches one of the cars going by on a N&W passenger consist in the 1950's.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The car itself looks fantastic! The diaphragms are very well executed, maybe one the best produced yet!</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The details on the car are very well done and crisp. The window treatment are excellent with blinds(?) which helps hide the empty interior.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">There are no lights in the car, but could be added if one prefers. I will leave my as is for now.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The color, well let me say it’s some type of maroon, red, pinkish color that doesn’t come close to the Overland, Key, Rail Classic, AHM/Rivarossi cars, which are pretty much all the same.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The red looks like the Bachman red which is way far off, that there is no words to describe.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The roofs are charcoal, gray/brown or something I can’t describe but definitely not black. I compared the roofs to the N&W cabooses Division Point produced if they were </SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The roof color doesn’t match any N&W models ever produced that I’ve seen.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The under body and end are black and is very good and detailed.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Division Point has a reputation of screwing up the paint schemes, like the N&W Blue(?) caboose and VGN caboose red.</SPAN></DIV>
