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

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
