What colors for D&RGW Heritage 1989?
I'm looking for the "right" colors for the Rio Grande Heritage loco, and can't seem to match anything up yet. I'd rather not custom-mix, although that avenue is not off the list. Has anyone found the correct Orange and Grey to use for these? Thanks in advance......

Atlas Freightcar Truck Pin replacement screw option?
Dear M-R-Hers,
Collective "Brains Trust" time.
Just picked up an Atlas Extended Vision Caboose for a kitbashing project, and belatedly realised it uses press-in friction-pins to mount the trucks. (No biggie, the caboose just arrived in original sealed packaging, with one truck flopping around loose in the box).
A quick check suggests that a M2.5 screw will fit thru the existing truck hole, and can be tapped into the bolster. However, the typical M2.5 pan head is too big to fit within the Atlas truck recessed hole.
