Fifteen covering shades and with them a satin varnish for European railway vehicles: the black of smokeboxes, the dark green of bodies, the red-brown finish of frames, two rusts and aluminum for steps.
Responsibility details are not available.
During the twentieth century the continental railways settled on a surprisingly narrow palette. The smokeboxes and boilers of steam engines were covered by black, the bodies of diesel locomotives wore dark green or signal red, frames and bogies were given a red-brown protective finish and freight cars aged into earth tones. It is for exactly that scenery that the whole offering is put together.
The assortment counts fifteen covering tones and one varnish. Besides white, black and a medium sea gray for roofs, there are two rusts here, one smooth and one with a metallic sheen, then an aluminum metal for stakes and steps, a sand yellow, a muddy brown and a red-brown for running gear, a golden yellow for lettering and a bright blue for newer vehicles. A flesh tone will be appreciated by anyone who puts a driver in the cab.
Thinning with water and low pressure in an airbrush will keep the coat so thin that it floods neither rivets nor pressings in the sheet metal. The shades suit a brush as well, only it is best to let them air for a while and thicken. The final satin varnish evens the gloss out between sprayed areas and small things painted in by hand and at the same time seals the surface before dry weathering with pigments.
It aims at railway modelers in the usual sizes as well as at builders of dioramas where a train makes the backdrop. The same tones will serve for track trolleys, draisines or industrial siding equipment in an industrial scene.
A freight car or a tank car looks best when the paint is laid on in two densities: a covering lower part and over it a translucent coat through which the original tone comes through. The earth shades in the package are enough for that, and nothing has to be mixed.
