discussion Train people - GWR Green & yellow help

[Andy T]

I've got another little commission job for a friend, who wants a 125 HST painting in the GWR Green & yellow scheme.

Where would I start looking for the colours? I've found a couple online but they are water based acrylic. I'd prefer a lacquer if possible

Thanks.

Paragon do it in enamels here. https://www.paragonpaints.co.uk/gwr-colours.html

Not sure of a supplier for lacquers, but I’ll keep looking.

This stuff sprays well using their quick drying air thinners. It was my go to in my railway modelling days. It’s not lacquer, but I can’t find anything better.

Thanks Tim.

I came across this over the weekend which seems to be just the ticket.
