rt - Your blue is much closer to Jersey Central.  B&O "royal" blue was a very dark, 'tween navy and black, shade of blue.

Wash time at the Celonese Central.  Actually, the little switcher is NOS right out of the box.

Had a 2037 sand blasted about 6 months or so ago and it has sat in my desk drawer since. Well yesterday I decided the final color for it still have some work to do on it but its coming out nice I'm not going to renumber it 2037 will find some other number and either do it as NJC or B&O not sure yet B&O was darker but it will be my custom engine may do just some make up name also well heres some pics of it. They were taken before it was dry so it really shines and I will end up putting some semigloss clear coat on it. 

At last minute just befor painting started decided to paint cow catcher/steps area black.
