0 Kirley Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Try Phoenix Paint for the NIR Intercity blue. http://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/precision-paints/railway-colours/irish-railway-colours-1/p881-c-i-e-golden-brown-14ml-tinlet-dull-3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jhb171achill Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I wouldn't have the paint numbers as such, NIRCLASS80, but I'm wondering which livery you would be thinking in terms of with "fawn".... They had an inter-city blue and grey (with yellow, black & white lines) and a "suburban" red and cream..... When new, the "Castle" class had maroon (as oppose to red) and cream, with a dull orange line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 33lima Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Thats it, or here it is in all its glory behind 113. FWIW, my original 1992 blue & grey 80 Class (in the middle below) used Ford Polar Grey as a base colour, which was a little dark; whereas my recent one used Ford Dove Grey (which to my eye is a ringer for the base colour used with maroon on the 450 Class, but maybe a bit 'warm' for the 80 Class, tho I think better than the Polar Grey). The blue on the recent model as Humbrol 14 Gloss French Blue which is what I remembered using for the 1992 model, tho it looks different, maybe it was Humbrol 25 Matt Blue, varnished, on the 1992 model.
