AS my shrink would say:What color do YOU think it is painted? Actually I would say it started as a dark gray but got lighter due to exposure to the elements. |

I bought several of the new Walthers deck girder bridges and I want to paint the sides but wasn't sure about the color. Does anyone have access to a LIRR color guide? |

I'm modeling the 1950's so it's anyone's idea what color it really looked like back then. Obviously the paint began fading on the day the painters finished. |
