Re:(erielack) Erie yellow

["Janet & Randy Brown" <jananran_@_mymailstation.com>]

What did DL&W use, and which did EL use?

What do various decal makers use?

How close can home-made (color printer) decals come?

I was just filing some articles and remembered that I had one in the pile with some information that I had wanted to share with us Listers. So I offer the following with an FYI mindset. 

 

We know that Erie yellow was stock Dupont Dulux Yellow. With John Bezuyen doing the research and painting, this fact was underscored, so the New York & Greenwood Lake Railway Geep and RS wear the modern version, still DULUX Yellow 9356d. . .In essence, then, the research done by the UPHS and AC&YHS shows that Erie Yellow and Armour Yellow were the same paint. . .  But Armour Yellow was the same yellow that adorned Erie black and yellow diesels. It was, as it always looked to me in person trackside, simply a good and hearty "yellow."
