A note in another post mentions red used was a orangy red. The colour used
was a bright red, signal red would be close I think. It was fairly close
to the red the post office used at the time. As noted in other posts we
need to establish a colour base for CP equipment and buildings.
Re the Smith trucks with the yellow nose, I remember seeing then here in
Owen Sound. We didn't get pups here and most trailers had white lettering
as did the cab doors.

I used Badger Model Flex 16-46 Southern Sylvan Green for the 20
foot and 22 foot express trailers. Its as close as we could get to
the correct color killarney green. The tractors pulling these
trailers would be also painted killarney green as well. The box vans
where painted red. But not Tuscan red. It was more of a bright red or
candy apple red. I could be wrong but most of the photo's I've seen
are badly faded. The Smith Transport color is a dark blue with white lettering.
