Accupaint is now Tru Color, I have been told. It certainly looks and smells the same. I was once told that the person that sold Accupaint had special blends that he had made up at an automotive paint store , and transfered from a gallon can to the little tiny bottles. If only the bottles were glass, some of my paint would still be good. That and Scalecoat are my favorites.

Bill,
TCP is in fact the same paint formula that Accu-Paint was. The 2009 NMRA National Convention in Hartford Ct. had them there and I talked with them about the paint. They had just started up that year and were hoping to duplicate what Accu-Paint had and then some.


So, having given up for the moment for pre-fab, it's time to paint & decal. Microscale has the right decals at least for the loco, but neither Scalecoat nor Testors/Floquil/Pollyscale list Jenks blue.

Mike,
I looked up Jenks Blue and they list it as TCP-120.
