As you know, I'm interested in the railway stuff too so you are not alone By the way, you wouldn't know what colours these Gondolas were painted would you?

As for the colours, black for the undercarriage, but completely stained with a fine layer of rusty iron particles. That stuff gets everywhere on any rail vehicle, and freight cars are rarely cleaned anyway. The wood parts were usually brown, with the iron fittings in black (or brown too if the painters were lazy).
