Colour matching Bachmann boxcars

[Skip]

I have several Bachmann Big Hauler ET &WNC "wood" boxcars that I intend to "lease" to  another railroad... Does anyone know which Polly Scale or similar paint is a close colour match to the red/brown bachmann paints their boxcars (and are they all the same base colour? eg ET &WNC same base as Rio Grande etc. )

Dear Skip,
When I do the prototypes I use Floquil Boxcar Red or one of the many red oxide primers, usually Krylon Ruddy Brown.
Have fun!

Well, the answer to the question for ET &WNC is "Polly Red Oxide".  The undecorated, Rio Grande etc are different colours. They go on a LOT lighter than they dry, so don't add something to darken it a bit, like I did...
