RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 5, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2010 Most of the charts I've seen suggest suitable car touch colours to replicate railway colours. I that what you are thinking of. Donw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigherb Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It Was in the cross reference list at the back of the the colour chart I bought just after they discontinued the Authentic ranges cost 10p at the time. But it didn't list the name of the colours just the reference numbers. Not really helpfull if you didn't know what HR106 was, so I had to make my own list for the railway and scenic colours may be a few gaps for the colours I wouldn't have used. Hope this helps. It was a shame they discontinued the railway colours as most of the authentic range where satin finish when applicable and the replacement could be matt,gloss,satin. HR101 LNER Green = 131 Satin Green HR102 Coach Chocolate = 98 Matt Chocolate HR103 Lining cream = 74 Matt Linen HR104 Standard Loco Green BR Green = 172 Green HR105 GWR Grey = 184 Freight Stock Grey HR106 Malachite Green = 80 Matt Grass Green HR109 Roof Lead = 67 Matt Tank Grey HR110 Freight Oxide/Bauxite = 133 Satin Brown HR111 BR Grey = 28 Camouflage Grey HR112 Interior Stone = 94 Matt Brown Yellow HR113 MU Green = 88 Matt Dark Green HR114 Coach Stock Green = 101 Matt Mid Green HR116 Crimson Lake = 20 Crimson HR118 Garter Blue = 25 Matt Blue HR132 Lining Orange = 82 Matt Orange Lining HR135 Blue = 52 Baltic Blue HR136 Wagon grey = 183 Grey HR137 Buffer beam red = 132 Satin Red HR140 Olive Green = 86 Matt Light Olive HR142 Wagon Brown = 110 Matt Natural Wood HR143 Brown = 119 Matt Light Earth HR144 Coach Red = 60 Matt Scarlet HR145 Dirty Black = 85 Coal Black HS202 Concrete = 95 Concrete HS205 Foliage = 117 Matt US Light Green HS206 Grass Green = 80 Matt Grass Green HS209 Tarmac = 112 Matt Tarmac HS215 Track Colour = 173 Track Colour HS216 Rust 113 Matt Rust HS217 Steel = 56 Aluminium HS220 Signal Yellow = 99 Matt Lemon HS221 Signal Red = 174 Signal Red HS228 White = 130 Satin White HS230 Brass = 54 Brass HS231 Copper = 12 Copper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for the replies, this will give me a rough idea if I can picp up a colour from Hobbycraft or order from Phoenix. I need a red oxide to finish a wagon, so I may have to order from Phoenix as I also need a S&DJR wagon grey Thanks again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
