UP MoW Green paint
Author: johns

Has anyone found a good match for UP MoW Green paint by mixing any of the available acrylic paints?  I haven't tried it yet but thought maybe starting with Tru Color Jade Green with a little white.

The color was very close to NYC Jade Green but it faded fairly quickly in service so unless you are showing all your MoW cars right out of the shop then "perfect" color isn't nnecessary.  It was common to see several shades of green on most MoW trains.  Depending on the era an few cars could also be Aluminum or even "bandit patched" freight cars.

Jade Green with a couple of drops of white and a half drop of yellow would get close. Tangent's 60-foot flats match my photos from the late 70s very well.
