Painting RI Boxcars | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Lee ConcannonOGR Forum Member

I am contemplating buying some undecorated box cars and painting brown ?? like the Rock Island lines cars I have ( Atlas, Lionel, MTH ) . I am not exactly sure what color I'm looking for, could use some help locating paint that I'll need. I also was looking for decals for the box cars, tried Micro Scale but didn't find any. I could use some help in locating those also. I tried the search but no luck..

Thanks

Thanks for the tip on Protocraft, they had exactly what I wanted. Now to try to find the paint since Floquil is no longer available.
