I don't understand what you are saying here?
I mean is it gunmetal grey or Brunswick green . That's what I'm posting about .
Henning's Trains. Call and ask them, they sell classic colors.

In late prewar, Lionel made, for a large department store in Baltimore of which I do not know the name, a flying Yankee set with the 616 having a dark green color on the cab. If this is what you have try to leave it original as it is a very rare Lionel special production.
I have never seen one, only read about it. I would guess the green color would be a match to one of the darker greens used in their prewar template.

Many thanks ! I always thought my eyes were playing tricks on me .Some people said it was dark grey but Everytime I would look at it I'd say No ! there's some green in it . Thanks again for the information .
Glad to help Ron, maybe when you get a chance you could send me a picture of it. Either post it here or send it to my email address in my profile.
Have a great weekend, Jim
