Floquil TTX Yellow?? - Rscott417 - 04-19-2012 I'm looking to do some kitbashing on 3 intermountain TTX 60' flat cars. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.enginehouseservices.com/product_images/t/996/47401-side-1aw__92279_zoom.jpg">http://www.enginehouseservices.com/prod ... 9_zoom.jpg</a><!-- m --> I found this paint from Testors but is it the right color it looks more tan than yellow? <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.testors.com/products/137384">http://www.testors.com/products/137384</a><!-- m --> Re: Floquil TTX Yellow?? - jwb - 04-19-2012 My understanding is that TTX/Railbox uses different shades of yellow depending on the shop doing the work, and probably also the original builder (since a lot of their equipment has original paint 20, 30, 40 years later). "TTX yellow" is basically "equipment yellow" or "Caterpillar yellow", and I use Floquil TTX Yellow for construction models, too. Your best bet is to go looking for whatever shade of paint from any manufacturer is the best match for the model. Re: Floquil TTX Yellow?? - Rscott417 - 04-19-2012 I see they have a Railbox Yellow, ill try my luck with that instead of the other one. Re: Floquil TTX Yellow?? - Sumpter250 - 04-20-2012 I have some container cars "Trailer Train" DTTX . . . they are more yellow than the color I see in the link, but not quite as yellow as "railbox Yellow",which I use for the "Cindys Harbor" locos, and rolling stock, although, the difference, is very small, and could be "gotten away with". Re: Floquil TTX Yellow?? - Rscott417 - 04-20-2012 I just have to paint the pedestals to convert the flat car into a cantainer flat car. I think I can get away with a yellow that isnt exact but are close enough because the pedestals are small. I just wasn't sure about the original "TTX Yellow" color
