PRR Baldwin V0100 & V0660 colors
- Thread starter Timboy
- Start date
Hey Tim, Welcome to the forum.
I don't think the VO-1000 or any PRR equipment had a blue color to them. They were mainly Tuscan Red, Brunswick Green, or Black. And Brunswick Green was joking said to be "a 55 gallon drum of black with a drop of green added".
Here's some shots I found on the net.
And some models
Here's what I did with the Stewart model I have. I add a DCC decoder and switched out the factory light and added a light over the cab door.
The start of some weathering.
I have since finished the railings and weathering on this one, but I don't have any pix of it.
Here's one more I found. It looks like a refurbished one in 2007.

This is a great site to find all kinds of rail photos. The search engine is great.
I hope any of this come in handy.

Hi Ron,
That is a fabulous reply. Thank you so much. Most of those colors look black to my eye. Well, what could be more simple than that. Goes to show that you can have any PRR color you want, as long as it's black or tuscan. I love the painting & weathering you have done on your model and it's a total inspiration to me. I modify old tinplate American Flyer to more modern standards for my own little (12X32) RR.
Thanks again,
Tim Brown

My grandmother used to work of the Pennsy in Cleveland so I got to go down to the shops a lot. I was about 10 years old and the shop was taking delivery of a brand new SW-7. It still had EMD paperwork in the cab and I remember reading that the paint was "Brunswick Green". I went to the shop foreman and told them EMD must have painted the engine the wrong color because it wasn't green. That got a good laugh all over the shop.
A glossy black color will do just fine for your Pennsy switcher.
