Mike 84C Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 What colour would the cab interior have been on A, B, C class diesels when they were painted in the light green livery? Difficult to tell from the photos I have browsed. I am not sure I want it to be green but knowing Inchicore .............! that's my luck!

Most old photos I've seen its a sort of beige colour, so I suspect it might have been back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) The A and C class were all cream inside. 121s were very light grey as were any 141s I was ever in. I don't remember what B101s were like inside as I only ever had one footplate ride in one. I have pics of the inside of a C somewhere, but I will have to search. If and when I come across them I will post them. I have a notion that the very oldest ones, the B113 duo, had cream upper and mid brown lower, like the cab of a steam engine, but again I would have to do some considerable delving! The G class were light grey lower, cream upper, as at Downpatrick, as far as I remember. E class - I'm not sure, but the DCDR could help - I think light grey. Again, I've a photo SOMEwhere!

Mike 84C Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thanks Noel and jhb cream or beige is what I wanted to hear. It should make the in cab detail stand out, not that I'm putting much in there, seats, control desk and a driver. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The control desk was black instead of blue, of course. Never blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't, this amongst other things would more than likely be sitting in my kitchen on display now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
