Providence & Worcester colors

I am painting a GP9 into P&W colors. I want to use floquil. Any suggestions on color choice? Thanks

which P&W? the east coast one, or the west coast one?

Providence & Worchester Runs in CT etc...

The colors are a red & dark brown or black with a white stripe in the middle. Just looking for something close for the model. Thanks

This is what he's talking about. Dark brown, white, and red-orange.

I didnt know they had GP9's. What engine are you trying to model? Have a picture?

1802. The HRRC had it for awhile. Its now painted in B&O colors. It was in Railpace Recently. I have video footage of this engine no pics. I model the HRRC and wanted to add this one to the roster. I just want the colors correct. Thanks

Here is a complete all time Providence & Worchester rostor they had or have 4 GP 9's rostored. 1701, 1702, 7189, and 7205 all are EX PRR units.

Floquil or Poly Scale CP Red and Roof Brown are a very close match.

I am looking for a good paint match to the current modern Providence and Worcester Railroad paint scheme. I'm having trouble finding a red that will match. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Anyone? Help Please?

Check with the P&W Yahoo group. They might be able to help.
Or you can ask the gentleman that runs Highball Graphics. I didn't see any notes on the modern decal sets that listed colors, but he might have the information handy.

GOLDEN-ARM you linked me back to this same thread....

The project was shelved until recently. I still haven't been able to find the answer.

I just painted one using Floquil signal red.
