Dave Dawes Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Afternoon you knowledgeable lot, a question for you all. What was the most used colours for stations and signal boxes in the late 50s early 60s. IE window frames, windows, doors guttering ect. My station on the new layout is a small building with a single platform, the run round loop, sidings are up from the station and controlled from small signal box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the interior of one particular signal box Green/ red and cream/yellow seems to have been the most popular colours alright. I have seen blue being used too though. Any photos of a plan of this layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
