Color Charts for Lionel rolling stock, engines and accs.
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 1:08 PM

Is anyone aware of a color chart (converting say Rustoleum colors for instance) to Lionels colors - I have seen a chart from a company that has paints they sell but nothing like, for example, what color best matches the green of the base of the stockyard stand??

 

Thanks

There was an article a couple of years back in CTT about matching paint colors to Lionel colors, I don't recall the issue but maybe somebody at CTT may know, like Ogaugeoverload on the forum.
