BNSF Red? - Trucklover - 02-26-2009 I need to get a paint to match the BNSF red on the ex Santa Fe Units. I cant find a "BNSF Red" in Floquil/Polly Scale or Badger Paints. Anyone ever used a red to match the BNSF red and Silver paint scheme? If ya did, what color red did you use? thanks in advance Re: BNSF Red? - Trucklover - 02-26-2009 I found it Re: BNSF Red? - Green_Elite_Cab - 02-26-2009 BNSF red? isn't it the same red ATSF was using? Re: BNSF Red? - Puddlejumper - 02-26-2009 Um, yeah, that would be ATSF Super Fleet Red. Don't disgrace that color by putting BNSF in front of it. Actually i have nothing against BNSF, I was just a huge fan of the Santa Fe. Dave Re: BNSF Red? - Green_Elite_Cab - 02-26-2009 Puddlejumper Wrote:Um, yeah, that would be ATSF Super Fleet Red. Don't disgrace that color by putting BNSF in front of it. Those are some fancy units. I've always been a Conrail guy, but my grandparents bought me train DVDs, and only two of the dvds (it was a set of like, 20 or so) were east of Chicago, so just about everything is ATSF/BNSF. I watched "ATSF Memories", and i almost wanted to got out and get some ATSF Dash-8s and SD75s. Re: BNSF Red? - Trucklover - 02-26-2009 Puddlejumper Wrote:Um, yeah, that would be ATSF Super Fleet Red.

Dave Re: BNSF Red? - Russ Bellinis - 02-26-2009 At the risk of offending some BN fans, I think the management of BNSF is going out of their way to try to cut all ties to the Santa Fe. If I had been running that merger I would have done like the DRGW did when they bought S.P. before the U.P. buyout. DRGW bought the S.P., but the new merged railroad was called the S.P. When BN merged with the Santa Fe, they should have dropped the BN! |
