[quote user="Southwest Chief"] [quote user="Great Western"]....but I intend to repaint the others a deep red/wine colour.  The rooves at present are black but I feel that that would diminish the appearance of the red.  Maybe they could be painted grey as a distinction from silver.  I am open to advice. [?][/quote]I repainted an LGB coach (3080) into business car B7.  I used Scalecoat II Tuscan Red (<a href="http://www.weavermodels.com/page11.html">20122</a>).  She used to be a grande gold coach, so I kept the silver roof.  Actually I swapped it's original roof (the old style with soot lines) with a newer coach roof that was all silver.  Neat trick was to mask off the D&RGW letter board and keep the original LGB lettering so I didn't have to redo it.  Did the same thing to our San Juan painted cars. Here's a pic (thought I had a close up, but this is the best I could find):[img]http://pages.sbcglobal.net/fdoti/_uimages/B7.jpg[/img][/quote]This is the best I could do on short notice.....sorry hope you can see better????!!!!!Toad[IMG]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll210/casino_trains/Trains/B7.jpg[/IMG]
