PC: PC paint

[Greg Johnson <gjohn195@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am modeling the Pittsburg area - Homestead side of the tracks - and am
considering the 1968-70 PC instead of the 1966-67 PRR & P&LE. I have
three questions concerning the PC:

1) How long did original NYC & PRR paint schemes last on the PC?

2) How quickly were engines repainted PC?

3) When did things begin to crater as far as physical plant and
equipment maintenance?

Thanks,

Greg Johnson
