Pennsylvania railroad paint scheme

     Does anybody know what the Pennsy building paint scheme is? I know the locomotive schemes, but don't know the building scheme, if any.

I basic color scheme looks like this:

Depot buff siding, with brown trim and wainscoating.  The doors and window sashes are red.

Trainz,

I got on the Internet a few months ago for the same info.  Here's what I found from the Keystone Crossings web site:

  • Siding: Polyscale "Aged Concrete"
  • Trim: Polyscale "Roof Brown"

I'll see if I can't find the direct link for you.  Here it is:

Modelers Corner

Model Paints to match PRR paints

Hope that helps...
