Here is the text of the Nov. 91 MR:
I'd like to model some early diesels of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. I lived along the P&LE main line in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and I remember seeing switchers and GP7s painted an olive drab color. Can you tell me what this color was and which model paint matches it? - Stanley W. Craig II, Knoxville, Ark.
The color on those locomotives was known as Pacemaker Green. After some experimenting, I came up with a Scalecoat mix that's close to the prototype paint chip: 3 parts no. 72 CN Green, 3 parts no. 15 Reefer Yellow, and 1 part no. 1 Loco Black. - J. S. W.
