Re: Durango & Silverton Does Green ...

But ...   but ...   Ed -

The D&SNG cars are not Pullman green - which is a MUCH darker and drabber tone -
as noted (several times) elsewhere, they are a close reproduction of D&RGW "Dark Olive
Green Boiler Jacket Enamel" ( except not enamel, but a modern urethane ) that Jeff Ellingson
of the D&S had created by Colors, Inc. of Durango based on a sample of the original D&RGW
paint 'discovered in the vaults of the theatre still in working order' ...

This color is quite a bit more green than 'Pullman' green, and appears to be even a little more green than the original D&RGW boiler jacket green - probably due to it's being a bit more glossy and less prone to drying out and fading.
