Via Rail Paint Colors

[Anonymous]

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a yellow that I can use that is commercailly available for a Via Rail F40ph "Home Hardware" loco? Also, same thing for the "CBC" loco. I do have the decal sets, just can't figure out the colors for the life of me!! Thank you for any assistance.

Regards, Terry.

I'd say look at pics of the loco and make your best guess. I'm sure there's an exact paint out there, but you may have to settlte for close enough.

I have a special run Life-Like HomeHardware loco, so I haven't had to paint one.

Still, I'd say go with whatever light yellow you think looks closest. That's all that really matters anyway.

The CBC one will be a real challenge, what with the red/white reflection like blending near the rear. (you know what I mean)

Maybe try a search on the web.
