All Freight Car Browns and Reds is for the many shades of boxcar colors offered by Tru-Color Paint. The colors are taken from actual paint chips and/or data provided by railroad historical societies. This selection of colors includes many short lines and long-gone railroads. These colors are very specialized and are available as Special Order only. Special ordered paint ships in 1-2 weeks. Orders are held until all items are available to ship.

Generic Railroad Colors are the common colors not specific to any railroad company. Graphite, Caboose Red, Reefer Yellow, etc. can be seen all together in this sub-category.

Railroad Companies includes the railroads, private car owners such as American Refrigerator Transit Yellow, Amtrak Platinum Mist and others. All colors for a specific company will be listed together including locomotive, caboose, freight car colors and structure colors.

Arizona Hobbies generally stocks only 1-ounce bottles in common colors. The 2-ounce bottles don't sell well and they don't fit Tru-Color's expensive bottle racks. Special ordered paints will ship in 1 to 2 weeks. If your order includes special ordered items, the order will be held until all items ship together.

Arizona Hobbies sends orders to Tru-Color paint early on Monday mornings. If you get your paint order in before 7AM MST, there is a good chance your paint will ship that week.
