The aim is to collect information on NZR Modelling and NZR Models produced in this country and elsewhere, from the dawn of time, through to the early days of...
I am finishing up a couple of 44' cars and want to finish them in either chocolate or green - the intended period is 1905-1910 plus or minus a bit depending...
Adrian et al, locally, NZR's Pullman green equates to Resene paints Karaka Green. However there are plenty of PG's available to you in the states, made by...
Hi, I had a problem some time ago finding a green paint for my heritage cars and addington cars. I found a spray paint I could use in the plasticote range...
John, thanks that is extremely informative I was able to find the Resene colour in on online colour chart which does seem pretty close to the drab green I...
The full details of Dubin's book are, "Pullman Paint and Lettering Notebook: A guide to the colors used on Pullman cars from 1933 to 1969", Arthur D Dubin,...
John, I am going to throw another little spanner into the Pullman Green discussion next week when I can get hold of Bruce Mai from MOTAT. When stripping down...
Evan, no probs with your 'spanner' theory mate, as its correct also. Paint was hand mixed in those days. And we also know that some of the "ORIGINAL" greens...
Peter Thanks for the Dubin reference - not sure how I missed that one I have a few of bottles of Pullman green from different makers and no two are quite alike...
If you Wikipedia Great Northern Railroad, there is a pic of an F7 with the green and orange colour scheme. However, Testors, only has that colour in its...
John - I read with interest the thread on the green paint. With your knowledge of paints; the humbrol reds for diesel locos, is that # 19 & 20! if so what is...
FWIW: Comments made on N-scale forums I am associated with with seem to indicate that the Prado locomotives are in the 'Glorified paper Weight' category and...
Grant - 3 parts #20 Crimson to 2 parts #19 Bright Red is about as close as you can get to a sample of Carnation Red that I have. It isn't perfect, but fairly...
Hi, I have just uploaded some photos of some of my cars I have painted green. I used Dulux spraycote Botanic green. I was the nearest I could find at the time...
Not a good match if you are looking for historic accuracy. From memory it is Dulux Hunting Green, and it was something the railways chose from scratch to give...
Thanks Peter - I was given those pots for painting but wasn't sure, aways just played with my floquil paints. Now will give my Db a coat, will post pics on my...
Adrian, Peter, et al, I have got the Del Prado Ab bought a couple of years ago on a whim on ebay. Just a plastic memento that keeps falling off the shelf for...
Depends on how anal you want to be about the whole "correct" green thing. If your models look good to you, on your layout, in the green you have chosen to be...
Amen to that, Andrew !!! Except I'd be more inclinded to go and tell them go and have sexual intercourse in old English !!! The self appointed are the self...
John The paint reference is interesting, but are we sure that the reference to Pullman colour is PG, remembering that new Pullmans were brown until after the...
Excuse me but someone asked and we have been providing the answer. I myself subscribe to the "it's my layout and I'll do what I like on it" philosophy. But...
I suppose that's just a good a title as any other to start a post wherein I might introduce myself. My name is Mike NeSmith and I live in Monterey, California,...
