[CBQ] Two tone cabs

["'Rupert & Maureen' gamlenz@ihug.co.nz [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Among a large number of steam photos on eBay today is item 400899332022, a photo of G-3 #1432 with no date or location

I notice that the top half of the cab (and the bulk of the boiler) is much lighter in colour than the rest of the loco and the tender, and I can’t remember this issue being previously discussed. Looking at other locos suggests that they might also have paler cabs, although the difference is not pronounced. Comments?
