Southern railway paint

Looking around I can find the prescion paint codes for the big four colour schemes.

These aren't the easiest of paints to get hold of, so does any know the equivalents in humbrol, tamiya, vallejo, citadel etc.

Or what are folks using.

In particular the chrome green and the stone no1A for southern railway buildings. Also the gwr cream and brown (may change back to western region but fancy a change)
 
Hadn't seen that when searching, thanks, they have a comprhensive List. They're the paints but I think they're enamels.

Just wondering if there alternatives being used by other manufacturers especially acrylics?
 
Just a quick thought. GWR buildings were light and dark stone, not brown and cream. I'm not being rivet counting! They really are very different colours. They became brown and cream post war I think. The GW were moving towards brown and cream before nationalisation.

I get mine from GRS - Phoenix I think, and precision are good too

Is there a reason you would prefere acrylics to emamels ?

Brown and cream is me showing my ignorance.

My school uniform was brown and cream as the head master was a massive gwr fan.
He used to b****** us for having the wrong colour. Would love to have told him my illegal shirt was actually light stone...anyway.


I much prefer acrylics as they're water based, easy to clean, don't smell and can be thinned with water.
