[CBQ] Heavyweight "Burlington" Lettering Color

[rgortowski@aol.com]

I'm trying to nail down if the heavyweight coach/chair cars would still be  
lettered in Gold Leaf or they had changed to Dulux Gold in 1950.  I'm  
assuming it would be a mix - depending on when the car was last lettered.   I 
was told the 1947 Troop kitchen conversion used Gold Leaf lettering, even at  
this late date after WW II.
 
Most of the heavyweights didn't go to the Ribbon-style lettering until  
later (after 1951-52).  This of course depended on the car type - with the  
suburban rebuilt coaches being perhaps the first application of the style 
around  1949.
 
Thanks,
 
Rich G.
