Folks

I’m putting this up on behalf of a friend. 

Does anyone have the RAL number for the grey currently used on 071s?

Hi JB

Some have used RAL 7015 which is a pretty close match,

Hi JB 

I've used RAL 7015 on my resprays and decals from SSM  as can be seen in the  video below

It is RAL7015 as stated above, although depending on which loco there is slight differences in shade

Might as well add, I will be meeting IRM at Malahide tomorrow with a matching gubbins which highly accurately matches liveries. The purpose will be to assess CIE green (for one of the IRM "A"s).  Of Fry's other models, many have absolutely authentic paint colours and these will be assessed too. Among them is the rare GSR green, which was only ever applied to the trio of 800s, as well as coach livery colours for CIE, GSWR, MGWR (the short-lived blue and white, and the post-1918 maroon, but not the brown used on the vast, vast majority of their stock), NCC maroon, Cavan & Leitrim, Clogher Valley, Donegal, Lough Swilly loco green, BCDR loco green, and a good few others.

I will post details in due course.

In the fullness of time, once the lockdown is over fully, and B & Bs and pubs are open, I will arrange for further authentic colours to be assessed in Downpatrick and Enniskillen.
