I had an opportunity to fit in an hour at the West Coast railway Association
museum up in Squamish yesterday afternoon, and took some photos of Lake
Chamcook, which according to their web page is a 1928 NSC Angus built
Sleeper/Buffet Lounge. While it is in need of repair and repaint, etc, I
noticed one thing of particular interest - the "work paint" is peeling off
over the gold leaf lettering. I'm surprised it went from passenger service
with gold leaf lettering to work paint without the original finnish being
removed. Anyway, though some others might be interested in the lettering
colour, so I posted a couple of shots.
