Any thoughts? Ken Hi Ken Yes - main paintwork (large surfaces like wooden-boarded buildings like signal cabins), corrugated PW huts - cream. Doors, frames, etc., a leaf green colour quite like what would become CIE green. Railings and ironwork in stations, fencing etc, the same green usually. I have an idea occasionally dark grey or black but I could be wrong. Bridges were painted in red lead primer, and over that were painted a dark silvery grey.

0 minister_for_hardship Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) https://ifiplayer.ie/monsignor-reid-collection-castlerea-train-station/ Have a watch. Early CIE days (1947) but chances are it hadn't been painted since GSR days given shortages were still an issue even by then.
