Glorious NSE Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone have any suggestions for a paint colour I can easily pick up in the UK which will work for modern CN freightcar brown/min red (as used on www.cn.ca scheme cars) - a lovely rich reddish colour?Thanks in advance.

Colin Stewart Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Check out the Conrail Blue topic from a few months ago there is a link to a web site for matching paint colours, you can upload a photograph of the wagon and it will find a matches.

Glorious NSE Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks, I'll give that site a go.I think I've used that site before (searching for a match of INRD red) - and it found me a 100% exact match to the image I used, which was superb.....only it was in a Testors brand that you could only buy in North America and was not available to the UK anywhere by mail-order, which wasn't so helpful! (For that we've just picked a red enamel from Precision in the end which we know isn't correct, but will probably be plausible enough unless somebody imports a real one!)Maybe it'll work better on browns than reds!

Robatron86 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I have found that Revell's 32137 "Reddish Brown" is not far off "boxcar red". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
