G scale

Talked about a couple days ago:

Also:

"S13 Box Car Red
"Color is pretty close, and use it for detail touch up on Red Caboose SP F-70-7 flat cars.

"'Scalecoat offers, in both I and II, Box Car Red and Box Car Red #2 and Box Car Red # 3. # 2 is the closest match to Accu-Paint AC-12 which is very close to the color panel in the PFE Book by Thompson and Church.' - Jim Elliot

"A recommendation from Clyde King is to use a 50-50 mix of Scalecoat Box Car Red and Pennsy Freight Car Color (a light oxide red)."

"'Use Scalecoat Box Car Red #2. It is a close match to the PBL Star 30 and the old Accupaint AC 12' - Jim Elliot"

Check out Scalecoat "dirt" S1115 (or S2115). Despite the name, it's close to the range of SP freight car brown.
