I'm looking for a replacement for the PollyScale Milwaukee Road Gray and hoping someone out there is MRH land can help. While I understand there are still ways to get the PollyScale color I am looking for a more sustainable, long term solution. I use the Milwaukee Road Gray as the primary color for my railroad lineside structures. It is the closest to the gray the Nickel Plate painted their building.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you tried Tru-Color?

I was a big fan of Polyscale and Floquil years ago. I recently had to custom paint a couple of F units, and F-9 B and an F-3A for the Northern Pacific North Coast Limited. I did some searching around and after finding the Tru-Color site ordered the NP light and dark green. They have an excellent selection of colors.  Air brush ready right from the bottle and very east to work with. Excellent color match also.

Vallejo or Golden artist color

I use for years colors from Vallejo and more Golden artist color to pain my models just because Polly scale was never imported in Europe.

These two brands of color have a huge collection and for sure You will find a substitute for your color with a perfect match.
