This evening I am planning to put together one of Selley's 4-wheel white metal Baggage Cart/Truck kits and was questioning what color it should be painted for the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1940?  The kit is representative of those carts that were often seen at passenger stations and used by employees to move baggage from the station building to the trains and vice-versa.  I am hoping that perhaps someone on the Real Trains forum will know what color the cart/truck should be painted?  Thank you, Bo

CWEX, thanks for the help.  Great photos.  I had been thinking of using a dark green, but based on the pictures I think I'll use an Oxide Red and then add a little weathering to light'en it up a bit.  Thanks again for the help.

 

Oh, I have also added godfatherrails.com and railpictures.net to my favorites.  They do have some great period photos which of course you already know!  Bo
