Station building and signal box colours in the late 50s early 60s

[Dave Dawes]

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

If you're talking about CIÉ's system, then green and cream or red and cream.

There are some lovely examples of the colour CIE used to paint the West cork stations to close em! 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?
