Paint color for Railbox Yellow?

[ednadolski]

There used to be several options for Railbox Yellow (original and the late/paler version) within various lines of railroad paint colors,  but with products being discontinued so much in recent years, it's hard to know what's left.  AFAIK it's perhaps only Badger lately, but I never really got those paints to work for me.  Even if you can find some old stock, there is a fair chance that it has turned to sludge in the jars by now.  Any other options?   or are we back to the 'mix your own colors' days?

@ednadolski - Ed, I've started using True Color paints almost exclusively, except for weathering.  They offer a single Railbox Corporation yellow color, and I don't know if it's the dark or light version, and their website is no help. 

Other than that, I'm highly satisfied with the results I'm getting with their paint.

Gotta use their thinner for thinning although they claim their paint is "airbrush ready"...I haven't found it to be.  Cleanup with plain ol' acetone, which does a great job.

Oh yeah...can't brush it.  They make some brushable paints, but their "airbrush ready" paints just don't brush.

Cheerio!

The MRH guide had the following:

Railbox Yellow - MM 4684 (Model Master) / VGA 72.706 (Vallejo Game Air)

TTX Yellow - MM 4611 / VGA 72.705

I did a Google AI check a couple of weeks ago when I was doing a shopping list for Vallejo colors and had this in my notes:

72.705 (76.005 ) Game Air Moon Yellow – TTX Yellow (matched to Floquil)

Not sure on the Railbox but AI searching has come a fair way.....

It tried Vallejo Game Air Moon Yellow and it was too yellow for TTX.

I mixed my own from white, reefer yellow, orange and a bit of rail brown.

Good to know - thanks Scott
