Thanks for the quick response! I have heard both sides of the story regarding the paint schemes and when they were introduced. On the IHC site, they say the Mercury was introduced in 1936, and it had a paint scheme similar to the ones I have, and that they tried several paint schemes over the following decade. I have seen a diesel with the "lightening" scheme that is probably a match, which would support what you are saying. I have run searchers for NYC trains, and have found several good sites, but I have yet to find one with any passenger trains other than the good ol' greenies. Can you suggest a site that has photos of other passenger cars? I do also have several freight cars, since my layout will have both. Do you know what color the hoppers were, black or rust? Thanks again.
