Ever wondered how to match vintage railroad exterior colors using modern paints? You can go to the paint store and hope they get it right—or you can consult Eric Schlenter’s amazing guide. He’s done the research for you and his comprehensive guide now resides in the HeritageRail Alliance online Library. To view it, go to heritagerail.org/and log into the For Members section. HRA is building a technical library to assist preservationists and his Paint Guide is exactly what we’re looking for. It covers vintage locomotive and passenger car colors for all the historic Class One American railroads, including Pullman, plus a certain number of freight car and structure colors. For each color, all the comparable modern commercial colors are listed. Eric stresses that this is a living document, because paint manufacturers change their formulations. He’ll periodically update the guide. Aaron Isaacs, editor HeritageRail Alliance |

Aaron - no biggie. I’m lucky my wife can spell it correctly. I’m mostly amused by the pronunciations I hear though it really isn’t that hard. |
