PRCo PCC Colors

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Folks:

Since I'm the one who started this I'd like to say thanks for the input and
that it is now perfectly clear as to the colors I should use on mw PRCo
PCCs.  I'll have to paint them all different.

Unlike most trolley modelers I know I like my cars to look like they are
in-service so I'll start with Poly-scale Catwisker Yellow (a close match to
the old Floqil cream) and signal red.  To this I'll over-spray grime, add
some redder patches on some cars and maybe a whole front-end repaint on one,
then more grime and lotsa rust around the edges.

Thanks.

Bob

I did my HO Bowsers originally in Floquil's cream and signal red.
Later, I tried one using SP red. I resisted using straight white, even
though the famous postcard indicated it might work. I like the effect I
get with cream and signal red under flourescent.
