The NHRHTA recently approached the current Shoreliner® printer about printing New Haven Railroad color chips, and the result is this new book. We think you will be pleased with the outcome. The printed chips are contained in a black loose-leaf binder. There is a title page and three pages of text (explaining some of the factors involved in color and color perception), followed by sixteen color chips.
Each color is on a separate page to enable the user to put various colors next to each other to make comparisons. Each page is numbered so that they can be put back in order. The top portion of each page has the color chip, printed to the top, left and right edges of the pages. The top portion of each chip is overcoated with a clear finish, partially to protect the color, and partially to show the difference in perception that a clear finish produces.
The lower portion of each color page shows the New Haven Railroad serial number of the color, the common name of the color, a description of the color, some notes about its use with other colors, the approximate time period used and equipment used on, the New Haven Railroad stock number, and manufacturer's information.
The cost of the book is$29.95$15.00, plus $7.50 shipping and handling.
OTHER ITEMSThe NHRHTA has produced several New Haven Railroad related items for sale. We currently have the following for sale:
