Every layout build comes down to two boxes: the tool box and the paint box. Our Tools & Paint collection brings both together — hobby tools for cutting, gripping, holding and measuring, plus paints, adhesives and finishing products for locomotives, rolling stock, structures and scenery.
For tools, we stock Xuron — the industry standard for rail nippers, flush cutters, photo-etch scissors and modeller's tool kits. The Xuron 2175 Track Cutter alone has paid for itself in every modeller's workshop. For paint, we carry the full Tru-Color Paint line: 600+ solvent-based acrylic colours matched to specific railroad prototypes, including hard-to-find CP, CN, VIA Rail and short-line schemes. We also stock Microscale adhesives, including Micro Bond CA in three viscosities, Micro Kristal Klear for window glazing, and Bullfrog Snot traction tires.
