I'm planning t purchase several 3d printed locos from Gosport Rail Works. As it is either impossible or very difficult/expensive to get paints from the UK, anyone know of close matches to Wainwright Green, or Stroudley's Improved Engine Green in any of the generally available paint lines, such as Vallejo, Gamer's Workshop, etc..

Thanks

Jim

Hello Jim,

I'm afraid I don't have a direct answer for you but I just found a webpage with all British railway colours in hex and rgb numbers.
Maybe you can match the Vallejo range to these colours?

Jan, thanks for that. I'll see if I can hunt down the hex code or RGB values for some of the hobby paint lines, that are more accessible here in the states.

Using the #8d561b code for Improved Engine Green from the railwayscenics website, combined with the "Hobby Color Converter" app:

AKAN 73025
Ak AFV series 707


I'm not sure which colour on the site is a match for Wainwright Green.
