It's very important. As a member of the NPRHA (Northern Pacific Railway Historical Assoc.) modeling committee, we have spent many hundreds of hours researching prototype colors....We keep an eye out for manufacturers offering NP decorated models and contact them in an effort to get them to make the best NP model possible.
...For example, Northern Pacific schemes from Rapido and Centralia are so different that trying to put them together looks like putting two different trains together instead of one of the same. ... Also factor in my WOT heavyweight baggage cars and how off their lighter green is it gets to be a little too much. It would be nice to see more interaction between companies on their color pallet.
