ICG Paint colors?
Author: sp8192

Hope bodkin6071 doesn't mind that I used their photo for this...but what Scalecoat 2 paint colors would match this?   How about Tru Color?   Looking for the orange, gray, and truck color...

That SD40A is a beast!

Can't answer your question, however, 6009 was one of the first of the repaints to have the white Scotchlite numbers,  Operators were complaining they couldn't see the grey ones at night.  You'll have to search the ICG roster to find out which ones were grey and which ones were white.  The grey didn't last long, less than a year IIRC.

I like the white numbers...I'll make sure to include those.  But I won't be doing a SD40A.   I'm going to venture out and do a fantasy heritage scheme on a loco that never got this paint job...
