Roger makes a good point that the -9's had end doors. Not only for weather conditions but for the safety of the passengers. The LI RDC's also had chains across...
AFAIK, North Stratford color was a Dupont MEC Pine Green as they were old MEC 40 footers. They came painted and lettered for the NSRR from the Waterville...
I remember working on a signal gang out of Gardner in 1968-69 and seeing the big E-L 3600 series GP-45' s with an occasional C-424 mixed in roaring up the hill...
The color match depends greatly on whether you wish to model a freshly-painted car. (ca. late 70s) or a faded car mid-late80s. They started out a dark forest...
