N at W BLUE

[NW Modeling List]

Also, one of our older (mid-1990's) N&WHS color calendars had a shot of a
brand new Alco and a brand new GE diesel locomotive side-by-side; they both
had a different blue color.  "If it was easy............ every modeler could
do it."

Like N&W "Red", the topic no-one seems to agree on among the contributors to
the modeling list discussions, N&W blue too is really confusing. There was
much variation as to shade.  Weathering, fading, dirt, what was painted
over, new units that came in blue.......Regardless it did get lighter over
time.  I've always used Scalecoat and Scalecoat II, ATSF Blue.  I like it.
It matches the blue on my Oriental C-628's and C-630's and is close to the
blue on Athearn or Atlas N&W locomotives or cab models. If you look at
pictures N&W e2uipment painted in "Pevler/Wabash" blue there are lots of
variations.

  After veiwing many pictures and models I find myself even more confused
about the proper blue to
  use for N at W diesels. From painted brass to various manufactures of plastic
models everyone seems
  to have a different color variation. Being from Bellevue,Ohio I know that
the color varied from
  type of engine to the age of the paint and the service area of said
engines. What color is color
  is the most accepted of Polly Scale or Floquil for this application ?
