Guinness containers

Does anyone know what was the latest colour of the 60 keg container wagons used by Irish Rail? I know they were originally blue but I find this colour a bit bright to be sitting on a fairly dark colour rake of wagons. Thanks

Hi gm, I have made some Keg containers by Model Irish Railways and i painted them brown & rust colours then i put just a little blue paint in some places.

Here is a pic of one.

Your keg container looks very well. So the blue paint in the MIR kit and a bit of weathering is the answer. Thanks
