I’m getting ready to install Gold Medal Models’ brass Trainphone antennas on the roof of my N scale Kato PRR E8. Does anyone know of a good match for Kato’s version of Tuscan Red? Thanks!
Anyone…? Anyone…? Bueller? Bueller?
I don’t know of a 100% match.
Looking at the Floquil site, http://www.floquil.com/catalog_brand.asp?brandNbr=2&ictNbr=57, I see that there are two PRR colors–Maroon, and Tuscan. I don’t know what either looks like, since there’s no color chart on the site…but Tuscan might work. Erie Lackawanna or Rock Island Maroon might work as well.
What I’d do is take the engine to your local hobby shop, and compare colors. You probably won’t get a 100% match, so pick one that’s close. If you do a little rooftop weathering, any slight color discrepancy will be less noticeable.
Color differences like that are why I’m glad I model the PC…most of their locomotives were black
