When I was a kid, Testors had a paint set just for modeling locomotives and railroad related stuff. It had colors like; smoke, grime, rust, ect. I haven't been able to find a set like that anywhere. Do you know if the company still makes it?

I found some kits on their site. But none for train colors.

I guess they make more $ on individual bottles.
They do sell them.

I just went thru this not too long ago.
I bought some Floquil Tuscan Red for my PRR passenger cars and Floquil Conrail Blue for a U36 I'm rebuilding. I was all worried about what color yellow and gray I should use when I paint my O scale Union Pacific E7s here shortly.
Years of building military aircraft made me kind of anal as far as painting accurate schemes.
The problem with Floquil paints is they are laquer based, and I would love to switch over to acrylic paints. I already have made the switch with some of my aircraft colors.
Acrylics are so much easier to clean up.:thumbsup:
I guess Polly S paints are the easiest to work with. I've had no problem with them.
