they scrounge or whatever from the prototype. The intent is to
provide a rational pick for manufacturers to use. Yes, the selections
intent to fudge in lighter colors for smaller models, HO and N, and some

that the passenger cars as delivered new from a manufacturer or cars being
returned to service after shopping and painting would be far more similar
or consistent in color. Yet, when even freshly
painted……..a specific paint color will vary due to differences in
production batches of paint…….. or based on how heavily of lightly
it is applied…… or what color paint or primer is being
covered……….. To me in my N&W modeling so long
as the color/tint falls within an acceptable range I no longer get too
concerned about it. One of the nice things about model railroading is
that we are each the CEO of our railway……..and as such can choose
and accept whatever we like.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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

today.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>The car itself looks fantastic! The
diaphragms are very well executed, maybe one the best produced yet!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>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></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>There are no lights in the car, but could
be added if one prefers. I will leave my as is for now.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>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></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>The red looks like the Bachman red which
is way far off, that there is no words to describe.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>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></font><o:p></o:p></p>

match.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>The roof color doesn’t match any
N&W models ever produced that I’ve seen.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>The under body and end are black and is
very good and detailed.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>Division Point has a reputation of
screwing up the paint schemes, like the N&W Blue(?) caboose and VGN caboose
red.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>I am looking forward to the next car, but
sure hope they correct the paint. I personally will call Ken or Jack at
DP to let them know.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
