Ghosthunter.
This is a good point raised by Johnny as the YYs were around before the SF and some of the base colours on the SF could well be paint used on YYs. Also some YYs and RW could share the same paint before SF were introduced.Johnny Pimp wrote:Are we absolutely sure that these are exclusively RW colours?
They look very much like MoY colours from 69/70ish.
A few examples: -
Y-2 Renault = 52 Dodge green metallic
Y-1 Ford Model T = 52 Dodge red
Y-3 1910 Benz = 24 Rolls-Royce green metallic / 32 Maserati Bora lime
Y-14 Maxwell = 41 Ford GT light aqua green
Y-7 Rolls-Royce = 24 Rolls-Royce silver-grey
Y-16 Spyker = 50 Kennel Truck / 69 Rolls-Royce dark and light yellows
While I'm at it, what about these model colours?
Y-6 Renault = 12 Land Rover / Setra dark and light golds
Y-10 1906 Rolls-Royce = 42 Iron Fairy Crane lime boom
Quite a few more that I can't recall right now.
That was indeed what I originally proposed since that was the rumour. However, those YY proposals look very convincing, so it now looks like we should include all pre-1970 ranges in our discussions.motorman wrote:Thanks for the above Kevin, but I thought the whole point of this thread raised by Hugh was to consider if RW colours were continued onto SF baseplates?

But wouldn't it make more sense then to show a baseplate and also make a suggestion to which RW this colour could be matched? Instead of just showing some random baseplates?motorman wrote:Thanks for the above Kevin, but I thought the whole point of this thread raised by Hugh was to consider if RW colours were continued onto SF baseplates?
