sorta SG - CB&Q logo

Matt Hutson
Hi guys,
For years it has bugged me that C&S #641 up in Leadville has not had its Burlington logo on its tender. This week I received permission to paint the logo onto the street side of the locomotive.

My question is, does anyone know a good close commercial paint color match for the red part of the logo?

The guideline says:


Sadly, that office has not returned my calls. ;)

Cheers,

Matt,

I don't know of a match. My information has the same number, it is different than the Chinese Red the cars were painted (80764).

I would suggest comparing with the logo on the Northern at the museum in Golden.

Good luck with the painting.

Hi Matt,
Is the 641 owned by the city of Leadville or the LC&S?
