At this present time, I'm re-painting a railroad hornby coach,
I've got buffers, under frame etc etc
Just woundering what sort of colour was the bogies on the coaches ?

From new: bogie frames black, back of wheels black, wheel centres teak brown colour (same as solebars), tyres and axles white.
In service 3 - 4 months and it would all become dusty brown in colour!

Qoute from another of your replies
ok thats fair enough, if you ever want some discount on DCC controllers, let me know as i work in model railway shop (model railway store, may of seen our advert in the back of the mags )
I suggest you check a Hornby LNER Coach (presuming your shop stocks them) all the colours are there as a guide.

We stock them, but stock black like every other bogie gets boring / I dont know what the standard colour was, but thank you for the tip
