SAL heavyweights - color of roof?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread

Wanting to model some SAL heavyweights but unsure of color of roof. The books I have seem to show black. One of the answers of Q&A said to use SP grey for sides but no mention of roof. I understand these cars were two tone grey?--------Thanks-Wayne Gibson. waynegibson@mail.clis.com

Response to heavyweights

Roofs and underframe were black.Try to be more specific about the cars that you want to model.Most,but not all, were Pullman green.Some cars,usually the ones that were modernized,did have grey sides. Some,ala NYC were two tone grey.
