[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bullitt406 Those paints aren't even close to the Grande "Gold" of the 50s and 60s. I found some spray paint at home depot that was close but not close enough.

Grande Gold and Anschutz 'Orange' have nothing to do with oneanother as you rightly state "aren't even close to the Grande "Gold" of the 50s and 60s". I'm not sure either you can judge these piants when you are asking the question [}:)]. However the modellers colours are close enough in the eyes of the beholder- for specific info trip over to http://www.drgw.org/ and check out the Paint Schemes. There are descriptions and time frames and loco types applied but not many actual colours shown- so you will have to research for actual prototype shades to create your own. fn, dave
