I've also got a former Lehigh Valley unit under construction, Conrail 7499, Ex 305, a GP18
Right now, I'm having a hard time identifying precisely what red color to use on my model, since its not quite a bright red, but its not cornell red either.

The CRHS says this photo was taken July 3, 1979. Its nice to get a prototype photo exactly during the particular month and year I want to model. Once I get it painted, I have all the decals I need to do this scheme-

In the meantime, I need to also get the details together to improve this former Reading Company GP30, photographed beneath the former Reading Wires.
