Does anyone know of a good red match for Indiana Railroad's red scheme. At springfield this year I held my Atlas Trainman and Athearn RTR GP38-2s next to the MTH one and noted 3 different shades of red. In all photos I have seen the red seems pretty consistent across all units.
Having seen it in person, my impression is that it's close to the late version of Soo Line red, maybe a shade or two lighter. That's a starting point, more than I'm saying it's exactly like the Soo Line color.

Thank you for your reply. At the Amherst Railway Society's show in Springfield, Ma I took my pair of INRD GP38-2s (one Athearn Rtr, one Atlas Trainman) and compaired them to the MTH locomotives. I was not shocked to find 3 shades of red. One of them was almost like the SOO SD60s (6050+ Red scheme), but I dont remember which one.
I will have to ask them myself in person during the shop tour this summer!
