Re: ID colors
All:
No matter how long I've been in this hobby, I keep learning something. In an offline discussion with a Marklin European runner, we discussed two-axle cars and how to ID them. Obviously, they have no "truck" like 4-wheel American rolling stock. Suggestion: In order to protect any collector's value of such cars just paint the metal axle shaft on the two axles of the car. Don't let the paint get on any part of the car itself. If the car turns out to be worth a fortune on eBay, it wouldn't take a lot to restore the car: * Paint stripper and a Q tip (with the axle removed) * Xacto knife (gently scrape the paint off) * Replace the axle with a new one * Ladies superfine sandpaper nail file * etc., etc. On locomotives (all kinds) paint the heads of screws on the bottom of the loco. Screws can be backed out (one at a time) and cleaned up. No, I don't own any of the solid gold locos with jewels for running lights, so its not an issue for me. <smile> Regards, Bill K. Houston |

[offline] colors
Steve:
I purchased a package of the DecoColor pens a while age and startedI'm not sure the descriptor "hot" needs to be in the chart. Pink is already there, but purple is not (maroon is). I have no problem adding "purple" as a color. May I have your last name for the chart, please? Bill Kronenberger Houston |

Bill,
I've always figured Rob for being one sharp razor. Wish I had thought of that black on black. "Now Rob, no one I know would ever accuse you of being a low down , conniving cattle rustler (car rustler) but I gotta warn you.....if I ever see you standing there whistling Dixie, with a pocket knife in one hand, holding a car upside down with the other, well, then I just might get a bit suspicious!" Too bad I didn't sell Rob a dozen MTL display cases for all those "rustled" cars.....I could have cleaned up myself!! Loren |

Red-Red - ID color for DC Group
randy smidt
Hi All,
I'm causing more trouble again. Someone raised the question about ID'ing group/s property as well. Well I just realized that the DC Z-Bend Track group now has some communal property, so I would like to claim red-red based on the stars on the DC city flag. Yes, I went out and bought a bunch of DECO color pens last night. ;-) Randy Smidt |

If you have picked colors that are available in them, you could even use finger nail polish for a quick swipe of color.

Gee, its a long, involved and tedious process of assigning colors IDs. <wink, wink> Don't forget to put color dots on your tools, expansion tracks, etc., which are identical to everyone else's.
