Typical! What better way to eliminate the competition than to purchase the competing company, and then slowly eliminate their product line from your catalogue!
First, Floquil Model Railroad Paint with the super-fine ground pigment. argueably the best model railroad paint ever, gets "re-formulated" and then ...
We should have seen that coming when Testors made their weak attempt at adding a handful of "railroad colors" to their regular model paints line. Did they get a government bailout? Is this Testors working towards a "single-supplier" model paint industry?
This is depressing news!

Then Polly-S gets re-formulated into Polly Scale ... and now that will be discontinued?We should have seen that coming when Testors made their weak attempt at adding a handful of "railroad colors" to their regular model paints line.
