Yes thanks I´ll use Brunswick. I was uncertain because it appears black on pics!

It was originally black for Pennsylvania as I own one but seen pictures of a green one.

| I want the paint scheme of the prototype PRR switcher and not the Varney factory paint!

Brunswick green, though if you don't put it next to an identically painted dead-black one nobody will ever be able to tell the difference...

Proper Brunswick green is actually more distinct from black in person, but it can end up looking more like black in old color photos.

Among other reasons, because the PRR's actual steam loco color (which seemed to continue into the diesel era) was evidently "Dirt."
