Wanting to know what paint manufacture Spectrum is using so I can come up with a match for Canadian Pacific Tuscan Red. I have a Spectrum CPR GP30 that I replace the cooling fans and will need to do some paint work. I really mess the good old days of Floquil paints...!

Same here and the Model Master paint. You can try looking at Vallejo pants to find something close.
I typically refer to it as Maroon. Is Tuscan Red the actual color name for it??

Yes it is Tuscan, I don’t model the CP but for some reason I have a bottle of it… weird!
I read somewhere that it's the same color as Soo Line maroon. Tuscan red was also the signature color of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They could all be slight variations of course.

Not to change the subject, but while you are working on those fans, have you given thought about installing micro motors for them and controlling them by DCC?

I believe my Proto 1000 (LifeLike) used it too.

I like Tru-Color stuff. Flows well, airbrushes really nicely. Great color matches, too.
