EL/MILW Maroon

[nkalanaga]

Does anyone know how close Scalecoat's EL Maroon is to the MILW Maroon?  For some odd reason Scalecoat makes MILW Orange, but doesn't make the matching Maroon.

Printed pictures of both roads' locomotives vary so much that I really can't tell how close the prototype colors are, and paints seldom exactly match the prototype anyway, so all I'm interested in is the paint color. 

By my era any orange/maroon locomotives would be well weathered anyway, so if the SC color is fairly close it's good enough for me.

Nobody?  Guess I'll have to order some and try it.  If nothing else I can always use it for vehicles.

Try the Yahoo Milwaukee list.

Do they have any more activity than the six Yahoo groups I'm already a member of?  They've basically died since the last Yahoo "upgrade" a few years ago.

Thank you, though, as it does sound like a good source.
