color:#1F497D'>In any era, all N&W passenger cars were painted the same
color. Contrary to some reports, the “old red” was metallic also.
However, you are not going to have to worry about that in a model paint. The so
called “new red”, which first appeared on the passenger GP9’s
appears to have had more metallic particles in it than before. Plus, the
elimination of lead from the paint created a situation where subsequent
repaintings were with the so called “new red.” For modeling
purposes, I think you can ignore the difference. I suggest you find a shade
that looks good to you and paint all N&W cars with it. If you want an “out-of-the-bottle”
color, I suggest you consider Floquil’s Wisconsin Central Maroon. It is a
little darker than I like, but as close as you will find with a pre-mixed
color. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>My freelanced RR is set in 1949 and hopefully will include
some passenger cars from the N&W as run-through cars. What I am
needing to know is how wide spread would the application of the maroon be
during the late-40s to older, heavyweight cars. Would head-end cars be
carrying this paint? And which "version" of the paint would
they have, the red or the metallic?<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated!!!<br>
