Tempting Matt Peddlesden Into Building My Favourite Trains By Pointing Out The Use Of Pink

ICE 1 - note the pink stripe on the original livery

...and the original seats in first class



DBs locos in those days used a pinkish red called Orient red, as seen here on a 103 (it's also the red used on the original ICE stripe)



The Intercity coaches also used this colour, with a pastel pink stripe that I always liked



Pink was also used on the seats of Intercity and Interregio coaches









Not only that, but BR Intercity, in the IC Swallow era also had pink seats in first class, in Mk3s and Mk2s (but I can't find a picture)

As did the Swiss in their Eurocity first class (in the grey livery era)



Including the panorama coach



...and you could also see this on the restaurant car

 

This belongs to Luzern Sursee route Re460 locomotive because if you were to look at a Swiss timetable you would see them terminate at Basel & Geneva from Sursee

 

yes, they'd be excellent for that route and would appear between Duisburg and Bochum, and as AI at Munich and Cologne

 

Pink is the worst color that has existed on the face of the earth lol

 

I'd be careful saying things like that, you might find that matt bans you

 

TrainSim-Matt just has to see this topic.

 

Well go back to the days of the UIC side corridor stock and those hard 2nd class plastic seats were a shade of coral pink, same as in the Silberlinge stock.

 

There is also SNCF's Carmillion, as seen on the TGV Duplex, but other stock too

 

I love the colour pink. I love a lot of colours, to the point I can’t pick a favourite anymore.

 

Can't think of a time we've had pink livery or decor on CTA trains, but one branch of the CTA's Blue Line was converted into the separate Pink Line in 2006.

 

New Ouigo Classique

 

In Italy we have some pink TRAXXes for intermodal services since 2016.

 

UP had a Breast Cancer Awareness ES44AC with a pink ribbon.

 

SNCF TGV Lacroix (which is basically the TGV reseau) second class seats with pink
