I was wondering what your ideas were on the correct color to simulate a stainless steel passenger car color. Most of what I've seen was light gray.

Check out the look on my CB&Q E8. If I remember right (and I can check it if you don't have it) it is 140-140-140 with a pretty light alpha layer.

Thanks Buzz. Your model looks great. Part of the confusion is the changes from photoshop (any modeling program) to the Train Sim screen. My colors are always lighter and brighter than I planned.

That's why I gave you those numbers. I did a lot of fiddling around until I got it to look like I wanted it to in the sim.
