The newer catenary (eg 70360) now comes unpainted but the older 70360 did come as a painted black/ bronze colour. Since I ran short of the older painted variety and ordered more , I now need to paint the unpainted version to match the already installed older version . Does anyone know the name of the colour Marklin used? Many thanks Steve

If you can bring enough of the older catenary to a decent paint store they should be able to mix up a batch of paint to match it. The problem would be the sample size. Some might even be able to give you a spray.
