Someone mentioned Strawberry red. How about Vermillon red ???
Here is the latest project(and has been for a while). My 200 hour caboose rebuild [:)]



An Aristo caboose bashed into the appropriate configuration for a GN standard steel caboose [;)] Well, I didn't make it 30' long, but didn't want to screw up the frame, 27' is ok for now [:p][^] I still have a few more handrails to add and the "gate" in the middle of the ends with the safety stripes instead of the chain.



I also need to redo the handrails on top of the cupola and add the antenna and marker lights that are more to scale [;)][:)][^] Oh yeah, that Onion Pacific unit will be heading for the paint shop soon too [:)]

Well...my wifey's favorite car is the flat that is the Balt & Ohio 1525 that is with the old number 7 Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Bachmann RC set. The tnigine is silver green with a red roof and brass details. The car is almost fluorescent yellow with black details. Most HORRID imho. But then she wants an eggliner for christmass that she can deck out in pink and pink fur with pink curtains. I told her that I would be happy to build the whorehouse! he he.

Oh yeah, I have to see photos of this!!!!!
