The CP colours yahoo list includes a lot of discussion on matching 
shades - and some of those efforts have been used in real life 
restoration of buildings.

The list mentioned is the CPR-colour-research@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  and 
can be joined at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CPR-colour-research/  The group home ;
page  also shows a typical restoration.

Hopefully the paint chips mentioned can be located and duplicated for 
future reference.

So, with all that background, I suggest you have a look at a the 
photos section of both this and the cp colours yahoo list.  Also 
these web pages include a sense of the colour shades:

Google images can produce a lot of additional views.

Good Afternoon.  I am looking for the correct colours for the 
following structures:  interlocking tower, elevated gate tower and 
a typical trackside shanty.  Any photos (colour) would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Stephen
