    I have some DRGW and SP Tunnelmotors from IM. I am in the process of adding grabs and other details. Does anyone know what paint matches the DRGW yellow/gold and the SP Red and Gray? Thanks

    I know what the colors are named, but I don't know what color IM used on the tunnel motors. The colors might be close, but not an exact match.

    Badger MODELflex 16-62 D&RGW Gold matches the Intermountain factory paint perfectly.

    There's one color! [​IMG]

    In the absence of other information, I would purchase the other Badger colors, too, in hopes that IM uses those colors.

    SP Lark Dark Grey
    SP Scarlet Red (not Daylight Red)

    Use the exact color DRGW5349 mentions. There are two DRGW "golds"...Aspen Gold and DRGW Orange. Something like that. They are very different. And there are exhaustive discussions on the differences in the TB archives. :D

    BTW, you could just weather the heck out of them and not wory about matching closely. [​IMG]
