ROOFS

[NW Modeling List]

The colors apply to all buildings painted during the same time period, and in some cases, MofW equipment as well. I think the brown color on caboose roofs was not the same - darker, almost black. I could be wrong, but that is the way I remember it.

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!
