RI "Chicago Red" paint color
Author: bnsfsd70

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you could take a stab at an appropriate/approximate paint color to use to model Rock Island's relatively obscure "Chicago Red" as seen in the picture here. This was an "off" batch of paint that was significantly lighter and redder than their normal maroon paint.

Thanks a lot,
Jeff Carlson

Jeff, Model Master's Signal Red looks close to the red in the photo.

Thanks, Charlie. I'll look into that at the shop soon.
