==Colouring==
==Evolution==
Although the 1959 colour catalogue illustration shows the side-verges painted green, this doesn't seem to have been done to the museum's example, whose base is a single-colour tan.
The "standard" three-rail Dublo level crossing (D1) was originally painted with green grass verges. However, the introduction of the new two-rail track in 1959 necessitated a slight redesign, and it appears form the 1963 catalogue that the two versions were then differentiated with different colours (neither of them having the green grass paintwork).

Evolution

The "standard" three-rail Dublo level crossing (D1) was originally painted with green grass verges. However, the introduction of the new two-rail track in 1959 necessitated a slight redesign, and it appears form the 1963 catalogue that the two versions were then differentiated with different colours (neither of them having the green grass paintwork).
