CNJ Caboose Paint colors | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

Looking to paint and decal my own CNJ cabooses. I know where to buy unpainted HO northeastern cabeese but I'm just not sure of the proper color for the late 40's early 50's CNJ red. Any tips would be appreciated.

Not sure if this old thread helps you (I think you had a post in it).

Also, if you wish … "Tom," who owned Tom's Trains shop in Scotch Plains NJ, and has had Tru-Color make CNJ paints, and Microscale make CNJ decals for him, may have the answer for you. He also has the very early "ball" CNJ caboose decals in O scale.

Tom is a very nice man.

Good luck
