nice pictures John - I particularly enjoyed the scene at Lomond in 1974 -
that's worthy its own layout!

Subject: [cpsig] Re: Mid 1950s CPR Structure Colours
I just added a few photos that include structures to the Saugeen shed file, even though they are nowhere close to that location! The trim was often a darker colour, as discussed, but I remember it as a darker brown, not black. And sometimes the trim just used the main colour. I think it depended on the B&B gang to a certain extent. They would sometimes do additional decorative touches such as using the yellow/cream colour from the windows on gable fascia.
Interestingly, looking at some of my station pictures, while the main windows are often the light colour, the screens and storm windows usually seem to be the standard brown.
