Railroad specific paints
Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 4:44 pm
Testor's Poly S Railroad Colours have been discontinued for nearly 2 years now, apart from a few generic ones.
Some UK suppliers still have remnants left from this range, but once gone that's it.
Those who like to kitbash, scratchbuild, superdetail railroad equipment might now need another option. Shipping paints with current regulations is however very tricky, but there are some options.
One of them is Trucolor paints, an acrylic paint which are reported to be very good, but they are not yet stocked by anyone to my knowledge in the UK.
They can however be supplied due to their acrylic nature in most cases.
Brand aside, how many paints do you use each year? Reason for this question is a little market research, which I'm doing in aid of a well known US model supplier in the UK, I'm wondering if it is worthwhile for a UK vendor to stock a different paint for the ( truth be told) limited market that US railroad colours probably would find.
Therefore I created the below poll. Can I have your vote's please?
