Tara wagons logo

[iarnrod]

I was always under the assumption that the Tara logo, as carried on the wagons when they were blue, was a lime green colour. However, just came across a really close up shot which shows the logo to be grey.

 

Can anyone shed any light if different colour logos were carried on the wagons?

They were certainly lime green when new. I personally never saw or heard of a grey one; might have been a one off, or faded / dirtied in so e way?

Is the picture online, I would love to look at it.

That's the unedited version of the one I posted on the book of faces earlier.

 

 

Edit:I did some digital snooping with Photoshop, and there is no colour depth in the logo at all. completely grey. It's possibly a mask of some type before the lime green went on.

It's on the Irish railfreight Facebook group page.

That picture has a strong blue tint (look at the grass) which may be masking a light lime green, I think this might be truer but its hard to tell without looking at the original

I would agree, Snapper; that blue is deeper than the real thing. The wagon is clearly new and the logo may be masked. I would be almost 100% certain they were lime green in service.
