Title: Paint for Mixed Freight Stock - Help Needed!
Post by: NOE 544R on July 23, 2020, 10:17:01 AM

Hi all,

I'm going to be building some mixed freight stock shortly but i'm struggling to decide on paint to use. My era is BR late crest but I've noticed there are a number of BR Bauxite paints.

I've identified the following;

https://howesmodels.co.uk/product/br-late-dark-bauxite-acrylic/
https://howesmodels.co.uk/product/br-freight-stock-bauxite-acrylic/
https://howesmodels.co.uk/product/br-early-freight-stock-bauxite-acrylic/

Which paint would be the most appropriate for box vans?

Thanks!

As the links indicate, the early freight bauxite covers 1948-1966 so that would be the most suitable for the late crest period.

Didn't even spot that on the site! Many thanks for answering so quickly! Think I need some glasses!
