1. Paint will be far too hard to match, as opposed to repainting the entire loco.

2. Probably

3. Canada is a pretty big country... where is the hobby shop supposed to be close to?

4. Nope, too many other manufacturers of them... Bachmann Steam is often of models that other companies don't produce...

Dear Dead,
1)Paint is mixed at the factory- I don't know of any commercial match.
2) Of course.
3)Check your phone book.
4)None.
Have fun!

A good way to get rid of Annie's name is to take it off instead of painting over it.  Use LifeLike track cleaner.  Get a que tip and put in some track cleaner then rub it on the letters.  Leave it sit for about 5 minutes then take it off.  The letters should come off with a light scrape of a flat head screw driver.  If you need track cleaner here's the link.

If you can't get it then your next bet is rubbing alcohol.  Hope this helps.
