batteries inside the car for the state-required electric marker

Hol and Group - The yellow paint slash under the way car number indicates
a Lines West assigned car, correct? Best Regards - Louis

Rupert: I have an original of the Corbin
slide (he shot half a dozen or more and traded the extras), taken on May 30,
1959, and I've attached a scan. I recall he did say that another was
painted at the same time, and obviously it was the 13966, coupled to the
14151. He also noted that they made a mistake in painting the stove
exhaust stacks red and that they were soon repainted with high temperature
resistant aluminum paint. The "paint shop" at Lincoln, as at most
other locations at the time, was simply a spot on the rip track, and cars
were repainted out in the open. Havelock did, of course, have an
inside paint shop, but simple repaints were done on rip tracks all across
the system. Hol

The
photo was on eBay and shows 14151 coupled to another newly painted car which
I think is 13366, suggesting that they have both just left the paint
shop.

Ken, Rupert and
all:
Corbin told me the 14151 was supposedly the first waycar
to have been repainted Chinese
red.

I don’t
have anything specific about the change to Chinese red for way cars, but
plenty has been said in the past about the use of that paint during 1958 and
none of it related to waycars. It could be, of course, that no-one has asked
the question before!
The earliest Chinese red photo I’ve found is of
14151 looking very newly painted in 1959.

Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q Waycar
Questions
I have been studying Randall
Danniel's books on CB&Q waycars (especially the 28-foot and 30-foot
wooden cars) in hopes of building some models, but have come up with a few
questions that I cannot answer totally from the
books:
Did the waycar paint scheme
shift from mineral red to Chinese red about 1958, in about the same time
frame as freight cars? Is that the same time the lettering style changed
from Railroad Roman to the more Gothic style?
It looks to me like the more
common herald was the rectangle without the black background, but some
heralds seem to have a black background. Was this something that was changed
at a particular time, or was this at the whim of the paint
shops?
