Anyone know the correct color/paint to use on Milwaukee Road PS1 50ft boxcar #2150? It was the 100,000th PS1 boxcar produced and received a special paint job. The pictures I've seen appear Gold, but it doesn't appear to be a metallic gold. The original car stated it was the 100,000th car, but that latter got replaced by a Black Milwaukee Road logo. I think MicroTrains produced this car, but the last one I saw on ebay ended up at over $170, which is a little out of my budget, or at least out of what I'm willing to pay. I recently aquired a set of decals, but the sheet that came with the decals stated the car should be grey. Anyone know for sure and/or what the closest paint might be?
I'd say that gray is probably the right color. But I'm not sure how to describe the hue. Something like a wet concrete mortar gray. As for the following cars, 2151-2159, they were yellow and black. Not sure if all were repainted, but later the scheme was all yellow, just like the big grain hoppers. Yellow is hard to figure out from pictures, with film shifting, light, weathering.
