Railsmith Northern Pacific Loewy scheme question

[mplsjct]

Does anyone here own any of the Railsmith Northern Pacific Loewy passenger cars, and, do you know if the Intermountain F7 locomotives painted in the same scheme match?,
and/or do the Broadway Limited F7 locos painted in their version of Loewy match?

Just curious, I suspect someone here owns both, or maybe even all three

Thanks for your help

I have the Lowell Smith cars and the Broadway Limited F7s.   They match is very good but not perfect.  A perfect match would require them to use the same paint.

The dark green is pretty much the same to my eyes, the light green is just barely noticeable as lighter on the F7s than on the cars.

For me it's more than close enough!

Most recent run of inter mountain: terrible, don’t bother. It does match the most recent run of centralia coaches but the light green is way off.

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate the info.

It’s a shame really that good matches between manufacturers can’t be easily achieved.
I know for a fact that most current manufacturers have been provided complimentary NPRHA color card sets.
There should be no excuse.

Does that include Kato?

I’ll have to check on that.
