Modeling the Housy?

Need to re-paint Atlas GP-35 into Housy paint. Any ideas as to what paint to use, and it has to be a spray bomb:(

Joe, for modeling purposes, you can probably pick up cans of Testor/Model Master CNW Green and Yellow. I have a couple of friends at Atlas that verified they used the CNW paint colors for their Housatonic models. It looks spot on for me for color match.

Hi Eric, I did notice Housy colors looked VERY close to CNW. That gives me some options.
Thanks,
Joe D

just make sure you paint rail, very very rusty.

And make it look like uneven jointed rail? LOL, Dutch.
Actually those paints are no longer available:(

Aahh, but Scalecoat has then C&NW paint in spray bombs. One color not in stock right now, but I need to wait for the nicer weather anyway.

A few years ago, Housy had 2 boxcars! Are they still around?

Never saw those! Nor a caboose, except in pix.

I have not seen the boxcars recently. The last time I saw one was about 6 years ago.

The caboose is on the siding next to the engine house in Canaan. I have not seen it on a train in years either. They used to use it primarily for long backing moves.

As it turns out, Scalecoat "can't" fill spray can with C&NW Yellow!:( They suggested Chessie Yellow. Hmmm/
