Funny you posted this. I just swapped out the blue-voilet for dark red on my Royal Hudson. What I find interesting is how many of the new colors play all kinds of tricks on your eyes. The dark red stripe on my model looks rather brown. Sorry no pics yet, I'm waiting on a Bricklink order for the rest of the dark red bricks :) MOC original: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=12931 Real Royal Hudson: http://www.rrsites.com/royalhudson/images/Hudson06.jpg Some time ago I was asked by a Canadian LEGO train modeler why I used blue violet. Originally I was going for a (non-prototypical for the engine) Reighngold livery to match the coaches, the LEGO blue-violet is stunning, and there was no dark red way back then :) Rheingold train: http://www.best-of-rail.de/images/train_mitropa.jpg http://www.hdg.de/Final/deu/page422.htm SteveB PNLTC In lugnet.trains, Jason J.

(...) For that matter, some of the old colors can play the same tricks. I have a standard red MOC that I wanted to have a dark gray stripe. When I actually used dark gray, the colors were really hard to look at (kinda like red and green together). (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
