Modeling the Reading: General Discussion

When where the handrails on F's painted yellow?

This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

Turboboost910 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 250 Thank you received: 17	don't take this is hard proof, but Something tell me around 1956-7. I think after FA-1 30's front end was redone after the crash they were painted yellow, and I think the rest of the cab units followed shortly after.
