    For anyone who has painted (or researched) the KCS Southern Belle paint colors, what color yellow would be a good match? Thanks.

    The only thing I found is from this website: www.RailFonts.com - Floquil Master

    His formula:

    Yellow 1/4 tsp R-31 Reefer Yellow
    1 drop R-25 Tuscan
    or
    Yellow 1/4 tsp R-33 Railbox Yellow
    2 drops R-73 Rust
    1 drop R-11 Reefer White
    1 drop R-75 Boxcar Red

    I went with the second formula for this tanker I did a few weeks ago.

    Hope this helps.

    Brian,

    That works for me. Thought it was a little more than just yellow. BTW - that is a great looking KCS tank car.
