Order Form
Several years ago, the CN Lines SIG produced authentic paints for modellers, manufactured by Scalecoat in the USA. Most of the colours produced are still available as follows:
In Canada Paints are available from some local hobby shops (recommended), however if CNRHA members have trouble purchasing paints locally, we do sell paints directly. For orders of 8 bottles or more we will ship free of charge; smaller orders will be charged $10.00 for shipping.

The CN Lines SIG also designed and produced decal sets for HO scale passenger cars (1954 and earlier schemes) but we no longer distribute these. Please contact Allen Ferguson at Black Cat Decals or ajfergus@mts.net for a full range of decals for CNR freight and passenger cars and locomotives.
These are authentic CNR, DW&P, CV, GT, GTW, VIA, CPR and BCR colors in a lacquer-based paint developed from archival railway paint chips and produced exclusively for the CN Lines SIG by the Scalecoat Division of Weaver Models.
The CN LINES SIG has also entered into agreements with the SIGs for VIA, CPR, and BCR to produce accurate colours for these railways. In all cases, much effort was made to accurately match sample colours from the archives of each railway.
Thin with Xylene (common name) or mixed dimethylbenzenes (chemical name), which is available at paint stores and automotive body shop supply stores. Chemical purity is not important. At a Walmart store in Winnipeg, small cans of Xylene (125 ml) were labelled “Goop Degooper”.
The 30 ml bottle is replacing the 60 ml bottle for rapidly selling colours (see listing). For simplicity, all orders are being charged at the 30 ml price even though some might be 60 ml bottles. MRSP = $7.00 per bottle.
Hardware and lumber stores also have both lacquer thinner and Xylene available in 3.78 L cans.
