I'm thinking ahead to switching some wheels to low profile on some rolling stock and doing some coupler work on a few cars. I noticed there now is a choice of brown or black for both the wheels and couplers. Any opinions of a preference for either?
Brown or black for wheels and/or couplers?

just depends on how realistic you want to go really. The brown is going to look a little better then the black but for the best affect and the most realism you should weather them. :thumb: :mrgreen:
I just both the first pair of brown trucks and I don't like it at all. It just does not look like rusted trucks but brown colored shiny plastic.
I use the brown couplers but will go back to black and rust colored powder to simulate wear and tear on the trucks.

I don't think they look that much worse then black, but then I haven't done much weathering of my equipment. I actually just ordered some couplers and on a whim decided to get them in brown so I am hoping I won't be disappointed.
What color would brand new prototype couplers be? An metallic grey?
