Hi All,      

Pete  reminded  me  of the excellent   Humbrol  Authentic  paints   produced some years ago  that did dry flat    just  as  they  should  the range  catered well    for   all railway  regions   ......... if  you  see   the right  colour you  need   at  a  toy  fair  and  the  tinlet  is  unopened  buy  it   as  Humbrol  no longer make   them  but  in their  time they  where unrivalled.

To  true Pete   long as the  tinlets  are sealed properly after use  they  will    go  on for  years  ......

One shop i do work for has them that go back many years and some people buy them because the pigments were so much better then but its a lot of work to mix them again , They even have some Goly paints to ! they must be over 30 years old now
