Re: PC: Cars Existing in PRR vs NYC Paint

[Jeff Toreki <jtoreki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just speculation, but I've noticed the same thing, and think it may
have more to 
do with the fact that the jade green paint just doesn't hold up all that
well against the elements,
necessitating repaints on a more frequent basis than the browns or blacks
of PRR, EL, RDG.
