[CBQ] Freight engine lettering in the 1930?s.

["captmix" <tamix@earthlink.net>]

I am ready to decal an O scale heavy USRA 2-8-2 but need some info on
that "trade mark" emblem on the tender sides. In all of the black and
white photos of freight engines during that period there definitely
was no wide red border as was used after 1940.

But was there a thin red border or, as it appears in old photos, an
emblem the same as on freight cars? I have a number of Champ decals
for steamers but all have that wide red band. The painting diagram
from 1925 also does not show a wide band.

So, what did that 1930's freight loco trade mark look like? Does
anyone have a close-up photo from the period?
