Hello,

 

I am new member and I am from Germany. So please excuse, that I cannot write and not understand hungarian language.

If I have read in this forum before, I used the "google translator" with it's sometimes horrible translations ...

 

Now I have 2 request to you hungarian bus fans:

 

First request:  COLORS of Ikarus buses for GDR (NDK)

 

I am searching for the original color names in the 80's years which were used in Ikarus Factory for delivery to the GDR (NDK).

I want to know the official colour name of the "Ikarus yellow" and if it was a colour from "RAL" color space or from east-german "TGL" color space. You understand, every color has a name.

 

 

So for example the tramway in Berlin was colored in "TGL" number 0310 "elfenbeinbeige" (ivory beige) and 0507 "rotorange" (redorange).

 

But the orange color of the buses from BVB Berlin was a little bit more yellow. It was not "TGL 0507" like the tram-orange.

 

I think, someone from the Ikarus factory should now, in which color they have painted the special colored vehicles for Berlin BVB.

 

 

And I want to know the color names and numbers from old Ikarus 180 and 556 buses white with red band.

 

 

In Germany no one can answer my questions, no one know ... so now I will try to ask in the "home country" of Ikarus buses and I will hope someone remember ... :-)

 

Second request: Picture in the book "Rolling legends" ("Az Ikarus évszázados története")

 

I have the book "Rolling legends" (english book version of "Az Ikarus évszázados története") from Gerlei Tamás, Kukla László and Dr. Lovász György.

 

 

On the top of page 93 there are 2 pictures of Ikarus 280.02 from 1974 in blue-white color for GDR (NDK).

 

In the book is no individual evidence of photographers or source of pictures.

I want to ask the three authors for this two pictures, but I cannot find a way to contact them. 

And I searched for the publisher of the book. In the book stands "Didaktika Kft.".
I tried to search with google, but I did not found any contact to a publisher with this name.

 

So my question to you: Does anybody have this 2 pictures (1 x blue-white 280.02 door side, 1 x cockpit view of the same bus)?

Or does anybody can help me to find a way to contact one of the authors or the publisher? Or a way to get the pictures in good quality?

 

 

Does anybody know, if there are Ikarus 260.02, 280.02 or 415 to sale in hungary?

If you know, please let me know too.

 

You can write to me in english or german language please.

Thank you for helping me :-)
