Floquil "old silver" is a good fini***o depict an older unit that didn't just go thru wash rack. This color is also used by model aircraft modelers to depict aircraft-esp WWII US planes that had been in service for a relatively short time; US did not paint planes 'silver' -it was natural metal (alum alloy)- used to reduce drag )from paint) and to expedite production and reduce costs. Although RR equipment like RDCs are s.s., and not alum, color of "weathered' metal is very close.
