I think we can assume that since Pullman was using Dulux, and ACF Duco, there would be different color codes. We will have Midwest discuss this with their DuPont dealer to make certain we obtain the correct color match. There has also been some discussion over the years that the Lackawanna colors were a bit deeper and richer then when later used on EL engines and equipment. This may be caused by EL using a different supplier, or the difference between Duco and Dulux. We will make every effort to make certain the equipment is painted as close as possible to the early 1960's era we are trying to portray. Comments on this are most welcome! Duco vs Dulux Was one shade of black a little darker than the other? lol Bob ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
