Does the Eagle blue look right? I have a good Jenks chip for the freight version so that'll be OK.

It's so much fun trying to match a color and then get it into the sim................

I believe Jenks Blue was used in this logo. Perhaps that will help.

Stop guessing and use the RGB values!

They sure don't always end up looking right in game. Some of them look fine and others look way off.

Thanks, but that is the freight Jenks blue ( I can use it) the passenger car color was called Eagle blue, and it was lighter in tone.

I need to fix up the numberboards otherwise it's done. The freight version, if you have the PRR loco will number dynamically, and if you have the LV early version it will be a single.

MP was famous for rebuilds of the odd variety.. Hows about a RS-11 with the radiators off a GP30? (and the 567 that went with them.)

To plain... same series a little later. They finally wound up in Armor yellow and dove grey at the end.

Oh, does anyone else vote for a little weathering?

Yes of course!
Given the choice between clean and weathered, I always choose weathered.

Getting close. A tad darker. Used to see MP rolling through Chicago Heights, Il. in the 80's. C&EI: Chicago & Eastern Illinois. When they merged. !!*ok*!!
