Structure colors

[NW Modeling List]

I've never heard of a white with black trim either. The cream and  
brown was what we used (based on paint chips) for the Matewan depot re- 
creation. The brown was a bit more reddish brown, I think I have the  
modern paint listing we used, but that is for full size.

There was one very last scheme N&W used on structures, including some  
depots as I recall, about 1981, just before the merger, was a grey  
with black trim, it was short lived, but I remember seeing it recently  
applied.
