The pictures show me that I am on the right track.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Tommy,
Thanks for the info. I am about to repaint my 368/2 and will use midnight blue as the base color.
Hello Jurgen, midnight blue should be right. Here's another Doll from that time frame.
I picked this up after the other one had been painted black

Hello Tommy,
You have done a fantastic job.
What shade did you take for the foundation? Is it midnight blue?
I'm sorry it took so long to reply. No, I painted the base, or foundation, black.
When I first received the engine, the finish on the base was so bad that it looked
like it was originally black but the paint was breaking down and losing pigment.
Several years after it was done, I realized my mistake and just left it.

Beautiful restoration. Did you try insulating the inside of the fire box to keep the paint from burning?
Hi KNO3, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to your question.
No I didn't insulate the fire box, that's high temp paint. The
chimneys red brick color suffered from the heat. The lower 1/3 lost
the red color.

Have you steamed it yet?
Yes I have Charlie, about two years ago was the last time. The first time I fired it up after the cleanup and paint job, the 25-30%
of the reddish paint on the bottom of stack turned black. Nothing else went bad.
Thanks for the reply Tommy.
Again, really nice job on the restoration.

This had been posted on another forum that I used to be on and just thought I'd revive one of my better turn outs.
