The engine in the picture is at the Railroad Museum of British Columbia. Two hours away, I should get there in the future.
The problem with many of the pictures on line is the varying color.

The "RS-3" photo in the link shows a RSC-3 with 3 axel A1A trucks. According to the Second Diesel Spotters Guide they were retrucked to B-B.

I have an engine I wish to paint in Pacific Great Eastern orange with green stripes. Pictures on the web show a color somewhere between reefer orange and schoolbus yellow. It varies from photo to photo. What is the correct color? Available product or mix helpful.
