I am modeling an Alco PA1/PB/PA1 set as delivered to the D&RGW and am wondering what the correct shade of yellow to use. I have read a number of articles and it seems as if there were a number of shades used over the years. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks,
D&RGW Yellow

Most paints that are called DRGW Yellow are more orange than yellow. If you look at the Durango & Silverton "bumble-bee" train, the yellow is much closer to a true yellow, such as Railbox Yellow. That would also be more in keeping with the bumble-bee theme.
