Saboja,

I looked through my Badger-Model Flex Acrylic paint catalog. The Conrail blue looks closest, IMHO. However, if you want to make sure you get it right, go to the bottom of this page and click on "Contact Us" (it's real tiny). Send an e-mail to Bergie. He will probably talk to Andy Sperandeo or one of the MRR staffers that can find the paint formula or a color that's already available.

It's possible that someone may post the actual color but if not, then one of the staffers would likely have the answer.

Hope this helps!

I think conrail-blue sounds good. http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/emd5.jpg

Will you scratchbuilt the "aerodynamic" democab and the rounded nose?

Have fun.....

Yes, they did use blue and white on the GP60 demos.

Conrail blue would look good. Maybe even GTW blue or B&M blue.

Did they use the blue white scheme on the GP60? I know they also have a maroon silver w/ black or grey trucks/frame fuel trank.

Im not sure what color blue to use. maybe a conrail blue?
