I will be painting an O scale Red Caboose GP9 in a very simple B&O scheme.

My online research has been hampered with out of date information now that PolyScale and Floquil paints are no longer available.

I would like to choose one manufacturer and stick with them, but which one?  If you had to start from scratch and choose just one manufacturer of model paint what would it be and why ?

For you B&O fans, do you have a paint formula for the blue and yellow like the picture below? 

Here is a nice map from when the LV was proposing their locomotive shops in Sayre, PA. Most of the regular buildings and tracks you'd expect.including both turntables and transfer tables.

The interesting track is on the right side of the Main Shop (red star). It's the tail of a wye that provides access to the shops and adjacent buildings but perpendicular to the shop tracks. The left side of the shops is the typical arrangement we see and duplicate on our layouts.

As Requested: You can see Mattie sitting in/on her Perch at http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/20203

FYI

I am not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere already or maybe everyone has moved on from the static grass applicator?  In case anyone is still interested in DIY "Grass Blasters", I see that Oatley Electronics is offering a new model of DC negative ION generator on Ebay.
