Almost every car I have had long ago been marked Silver+Silver with a
silver sharpie, except the new cylindrical hoppers I recently aquired.
Also, I had done all my accordian tracks pieces with 2 silver bottom
ties in the middle. I did not know anyone else was coloring their
bolster pins. I probably have 200+ cars that way, and another 200-300
N Scale cars done the same over the years.
Those were my N-Trak colors when I was in the Snake River Model
Railroaders club.
I have a solution though, I'll wear rose colored glasses when I pickup
my cars, and then they will look like salmon belly colored! :)
