"Saddle cloth & blanket colors - Austrian Train Drivers" Topic

Hello,

Subject says most of it.

I'm painting up my Austrian artillery limber teams and while I have decent source materials on the uniforms they leave out the colors for the blanket rolls and saddle clothes. I'm not worried about officers, I just needs the average-joe train driver.

Thanks for your assistance!

Cheers,

The Bandit
