Get the authentic livery colors of America's classic railroads with AMMO by Mig's Rail Center R-1007 — a 6-bottle set of acrylic paints purpose-built for locomotive and rolling-stock finishing in any scale. The Rail Center series is formulated specifically for railway modelers, with ultra-fine pigments that hold sharp detail through brush or airbrush, fast drying times for efficient multi-coat work, and a water-based, low-odor formula that's safe for indoor use.
Volume 1 is the foundation set — six iconic colors selected to cover the most common American railroad locomotive liveries without complex mixing. Pair with AMMO's washes, filters, streaking effects, and pigments to take your finished models from clean factory paint to weathered, working-railroad realism. For airbrush work, thin with AMMO.R-0500 Rail Center Acrylic Thinner.

FAQ
Will these work on all model train scales?Yes. The Rail Center colors are formulated as fine-pigment acrylics that work cleanly on N, HO, O, G, and Z scale models — anywhere you'd use airbrush or brush-applied acrylic.
Brush or airbrush — which is better?Both. The acrylic formula thins easily with water or AMMO acrylic thinner for airbrush work, and brushes well straight from the bottle for detail painting.
Can I use these alongside AMMO weathering products?Yes. They're fully compatible with AMMO's washes, filters, streaking effects, pigments, and other weathering tools — designed as a single ecosystem.
How is this different from Vol. 2?Vol. 1 (this set) covers the foundational American railroad palette — Engine Black, White, Reefer Yellow, Medium Blue, Red, and Pale Greenish Grey. Vol. 2 expands the range with additional liveries (Caboose Red, Aluminum, Signal Yellow, Deep Blue Livery). Together they give you broad coverage of the classic-era US prototype palette.
