On the MNG forum there's talk of painting coach 22 a dark green color, and they asked what color our coaches are.  I think it's either Essex Green or Brunswick Green.  Stewart, what's the answer?

James,  We use Benjamin Moore Essex Green.  It's an oil based enamel.  I buy our paint at Poole Brothers.  Due to the change in Maine State haz-mat laws, I can only get it in quarts.

Was coach 22 a former Bridgton car?  I don't recall which cars they have, and where they each came from.

Eric,
I just read it was built in 1958 by Edaville. When re lettered, it will say Edavill to honor the heritage of the car. The one I am wondering about is #12. That would fit right in with a Bridgton number but it is not on an online list. I'll have to dig a book out.
