mentioned, striking. I think I am going to go with dulux gold if that is
why my eyes are being tricked into seeing.
The stories of the discontinuation of gold leaf in the 1930's are false.
The photographs and company documentation show that gold leaf continued much
later.
I have a colour photo of restoration of business car #32, ex. LAKE CHAMCOOK.
What was found underneath the paint was the original gold leaf lettering
left behind from when the car was repainted and lettered to car #32 in 1962.
Follow the link to the photos I posted in 2006.

I also have many drawings and internal CPR documents, including car cost and
delivery reports, that pinpoint the date change from gold leaf to gold paint
for passenger locomotive and cars is late 1949.
You're welcome to come by anytime and see the documentation.
