I second the motion of use whatever paint scheme you want to use.  It is your money and your railroad.

I am thinking of using ERIE D. And L. Greens and SOUTHERN green, the question is will I be able to "get away with" using another railroads paints?

No.  Every MRRer and his grandmother will know you used those colors and the color-scheme will be a faux pas of epic proportions. Clown

It's a model (toy) railroad. Paint them pink if you want.

Steven:

It's your railroad. You can do whatever you want! No need for permission. No need to apologise. Just do it!

Cheers!!

OK I'm getting closer to settling on a set of colors for my railroads paint scheme, I am thinking of using ERIE D. And L. Greens and SOUTHERN green, the question is will I be able to "get away with" using another railroads paints?
