Paint

I am kit bashing a Baldwin DRX-6-4-2000. Any suggestions on where to get the blue and orange paint.

Can you be a little more specific, i.e. which railroad's "blue and orange" paint? There have to be hundreds of different blues and oranges in various paints.

In case I change my mind, might need the green.

Again,,,,,,,,,,which railroad's "green"????

          Thanks,  JC

       

Since the CNJ is the only railroad to roster a Baldwin DRX-6-4-2000, I'm guessing THAT railroad's colors. 

Sorry about that, Jersey Central.

Tru Color and Badger modelflex do railroad colors. You may be able to find Testors old stock.  IMO.

Edit/Add: 1/30/2022 7:00 AM.  In the real world, Dark colors, in this case, the blue, tend to change (quickly) via sunlight.  Probably hard to find a fresh-out-of-the-paint-shop photo.  IMO, Mike CT.  I believe Steamtown, Scranton, PA had done some Jersey Central paint on F3's

Hello Mike,

          Thank you for the info.

True Color Paint has a color called TCP-295 CNJ Tangerine. If you choose to do the Green with yellow stripes scheme, True color has a paint for the green also, TCP-233 CNJ Deep Sea Green

Some have written that they use B&O Royal Blue for the Blue, but I'm not sure that is a good option.

The Mauch Chunk HO guys have a page on the double ended Baldwins. But I didn't see paint recommendations on the site.

I look forward to seeing your results.

Hello George,

          Thank you for the recommendations, big help.
