I'm no expert, but my first question is... Are you going to weather the loco? If you are, then the paint you choose for the rails doesn't have to be an exact match. The weathering will blend it all together.
What kind of paint are you going to use?
Gary, thats an excellent question, and the answer is Yes, i will be eventually weathering the unit to match the prototype unit. So you make a good point lol
I want to use either Polly Scale or Floquil, ive used these before in the past and find both to be good quality paints. I am willing to try other model paints if someone makes a closer match to the colors i need though.... I wish they would just make a "EMD Red", "EMD Gray", and "EMD Silver", and just do that for every railroad LOL, but i think its a little too much to ask from anyone company out there as there are so many different railroads with so many different colors
