Hi everybody!
I'm about to embark on an odyssey and could use advice. I am modeling Ohio Central in N scale. As far as I can tell, there has only been two N scale locomotives actually produced in Ohio Central's maroon, yellow and gray paint scheme. One an F7 and another a C420. I was lucky enough to find one of teh Atlas AC420's, but I desire another locomotive for my livery.
So... I just acquired an undecorated locomotive, and will have it painted and decaled. But I need to figure out which colors come closest.
Is there a cross reference chart somewhere that tells me which make and color works best for a particular road name?
Based on my looking around, I believe that between Wisconsin Central and Erie & Lackawanna, that the three colors I need are similar. But nmow all I have is three different road names.
How do I figure out which brand/color will match any of those?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
