2020 PRR E8 color questions? Wrong Color?

SlipskullOGR Forum Member

I just got my PRR E8 the other day. These E8 were modeled after Juniata terminal 5711 and 5809. When I pulled them out of the box I noticed they were very RED. When I compare them to my PRR passenger cars the difference huge.

my next thought was to look at pics of the real locomotives and see what they look like today and I noticed that they were much closer to the color of my passengers cars.

This was my first time ordering a locomotive from Lionel. Do they normally mess up this bad? Am I missing something and this is the correct color for these locomotives?

Also what can I do to fix something like this? I don't think lionel can repaint it for me. Is there anyone out there that does a good job repainting locos. I’m not confident that I can do a good job.
