David C Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I want to update the insignia on a Fleischmann BR98 from DR to DB to suit a planned layout set in the 1950s. I've discovered Andreas Nothaft's site and the only steam loco numbers he offers are silver on black (and he doesn't do any for a class 98). Is this correct? I always thought the numbers were white .... at least, that's what I remembered from wandering around Germany in the early 1970s. Of course, my memory may be at fault ..... Also, does anyone produce DB passenger green, either as paint or an aerosol? The ideal would be a match with one of the Halfords cans .... Thanks in advance.

brigo Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 DB passenger green is RAL-6020 Chromoxydgrun. Revell do a RAL-6020 "Dark Green" as 32363 silk-matt enamel or as 36363 silk-matt acrylic.

Bernard Lamb Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Try TL-Modellbau. Sorry, this computer does not like to post links. Last time I wanted some loco numbers I used them and they did do a white. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adecoaches26point4 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Coaches in the early 1950's were RAL 6007 bottle green. Have used paints from this UK company http://www.ralcolours.co.uk/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
