ROOFS

[NW Modeling List]

I just saw Ed ‘s question on roof colors and have a question about interlocking towers roof colors.  Does the same reddish brown and green apply, I am modeling the 1950’s .  Did the N&W use the same brown roof coating on their buildings as they used on their cabooses.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

It all depends on when the building was painted, as N&W went through several color schemes during the late '40's and the '50's. The reddish brown is earlier, and the green is later.

Guys - in many of the photos in the various reference works it seems the roofs of maintenance and small operating facilities are some shade of red/maroon?  I always thought they were green, and the buildings with green trim around the windows, doors, etc.  It seems as though the predominant color was white for the sills and jambs. 

Anybody help me out here?  Thanks!
