>In any era, all N&W passenger cars were painted the same color.<br><br>So they had always been in Tuscan red? For some odd reason I had been led to believe that Pullman green had been used but if the red was what was used that helps me on my freelanced line as well. I don't know... I guess it was the heavyweight Pullman cars that probably led me to think that, since they are listed as being Pullman green until the early 50s even though N&W got their few in the late-40s. Now I won't feel so bad if I go ahead and use the same red on my passenger equipment as well. Don't get me wrong, I like Pullman green (I am also a huge Southern fan logging mileage on a number of the Amtrak era trains, as well as the "Crescent" after Amtrak's take over) but that wine... oh, its so mighty fine!!! I have been a fan of it since Southern first borrowed the N&W's "Alta Vista" car for a Kentucky Derby Special not long after moving to N.C. from California. I was thrilled to be able to see the green E8s and all the business cars but having the N&W 800 on the end made it all that much more sweet!!!<br>
