Hello!
Is there anything in the library that is the "official" colour for the
CP 166 / 167-series alcohol heater box cars prior to the Multi-Mark repaints?
These were the cars with the script Canadian Pacific in red and located on the
left side of the car.
I've have asked a few folks who I thought might know as well as checked
out various photo sites on the 'Net and I can't get an conclusive answer to
"Were they orange or yellow?" When looking at a photo, it's hard to tell if
the colour is a product of lighting / film stock / angle, etc.
Any info the Library may have is appreciated.
Regards,
John
