| Does anyone know where this fence might be from?
Was it in any of the Maersk sets?
Any info would be appreciated.

I would say Legoland Miniland workshop? Because Maersk Blue was the only color
pellet available to represent a lighter shade of blue at the time of this part
was produced.

Color pellets for medium blue and light blue were also available at this time.

Light Blue was introduced in 2000 and ABS Medium Blue in 1997 (was used for soft
car-wash brushes from '88, but it was not the real ABS Medium Blue).
Color guide considers 50's color variations as an equivalent of modern colors.
So Maersk Blue was the only source of lighter blue pellet before the late 90's.
Unfortuntely I couldn't locate any picture yet, 80's and 90's pictures
of Miniland are scarce, given the part could have been made at any time between
1974 and 2001, and could be hidden in small details.

It's the same, but I just got a bit further: 
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=1&pg=1&colorInSet=62&catType=S
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=5&pg=1&colorInSet=42&catType=S
The summary page is not precise at all, Dark Turquoise have had a 15 years hiatus,
but summary does not indicate anything more. These two colors were only released
in proper ABS respectively in 1997 and 2000. Take a look at Dark Red, it was
only introduced in 2001, but because of a few H0 cars, it's listed as being
introduced in 1961. Quite a gap, no?
By the way, nice to see you around, Ole!

I only said, that light and medium blue were also availableat this time. Not
all the time, but a couple of years. Medium blue since 1993 and light blue since
1997. Your statement, maersk blue would be the only color, is therefore not entirely
correct.

I have a 1982 "Vejviser" (roadmap of the park) with quite a number of pictures.
The only Mærsk blue I can spot might be a roof and a wall section but a lot of
the pictures are small and in low resolution anyway
Cheers,

By the way, don't forget the good ol'3001old that were digged out of
dust in 2003 for the missing bricks of the Maersk boat. These were produced for
Miniland purpose in the early 80's too, like your fence.

True, but there is a difference between normal bricks and a fence...
But Miniland sounds plausible.

| I have about a dozen unreleased parts in Maersk Blue that I can trace back to
Legoland Windsor's model shop. In about 2006 when Lego decided to not go
forward with Maersk as a color(which is why the later train set color doesn't
really match) the model shop put all their Maersk that was not needed to maintain
existing models into the PAB bins. A couple Brits bought it all and ended up
reselling it to me.
Which is why I've built quite a few models in Maersk. I've enough to
make table scrap doodles with it even.

Yes, I remember those great models and thanks for the explanation.
My parts came from Denmark, but must be from a similar origin.
