T Mark Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Does anyone know the specific color of red the Harry Potter engine is painted? Also, if available at retail what manufacturer makes it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheatley Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) I'd be amazed if she hasn't trademarked it, try these - https://codepen.io/Jill-Lambert/pen/bwevpB Hornby and Bachmann have both done the loco. Edited February 29 by Wheatley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 She cannot trademark it, any more than the TTTE franchise tried with 'Stepney, because it is prior art. When Ms Rowling was interviewed years ago she said she knew there was a station where red engines left for Scotland. So it's LMS livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, we've discussed that previously with that series of paintings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Ms Rowling, or Disney, or whoever holds the rights these days cannot trademark GWR Castles, Granges, LMS livery or generic maroon locomotives with quasi-LMS lining and totems which just happen to be the shape of a BR lion and wheel. She can trademark "Hogwarts", "Hogwarts Express", the specific combination of those names when used in conjunction with any or all of those things listed above, and, relevant to my earlier point, she can trademark the use of a specific shade of maroon with that specific combination. The OP asked for the specific colour. My guess is its Gryffindor Dark Red from my earlier link, but I have no idea whether LMS or BR maroon has a BS number or how you convert that to a hex value. Whether you can get a Rizzla paper between the BS/Hex/RGB/Pantone values for LMS Maroon and Gryffindor Dark Red for any practical purpose is another matter. And yes, if it was me, I'd just use LMS Maroon or Halfords Rover Damask Red as well. But that wasn't what was asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerTE Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I am informed that the colour used when Olton Hall was resprayed for the first film was Craftmaster Burrell Crimson Lake, so basically resprayed as a Traction Engine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
