BC Rail paint scheme
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 2, 2008 7:40 PM
Does anyone know what are the color matches for the two-tone green BC Rail scheme. Since I can't find a caboose other than Overland I would like to try to paint one.

Check with these guys http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BCRailwayModeller/ and these guys http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/PGEBCRSIG/.

They have the answers you seek (in the form of an excel spreadsheet).

ScaleCoat I paint has a few special colors for Canadian lines, see http://cnlines.ca/products/paint.pdf for specific information. BC Railway dark green # 110-30 and BC Railway light green # 110-31.

Assuming the scale to be HO, Athearn has their Wide Vision caboose available in the classy two tone green BC Rail paint. Just add the details needed.
