Good evening --
For those that are interested in Zephyr #47, we have confirmed that we do have 35 copies in stock. The selling price is $6 plus shipping through the Company Store website. If anyone is interested and going to Batavia
for the Spring Meet, Nancy and I would be willing to bring a copy with for you and save you the shipping charge (which is as much as the document). Please email us at "companystore@burlingtonroute.org". Don't place your order through the website as that
will automatically add in postage. We don't make anything on shipping - so, we'll save you a few pennies that you can spend at the swap meet or raffle. Please email your requests to us NO LATER than Friday, March 30th. We'll be heading towards Batavia the
following Wednesday and will be making up name badges for three different activities those last few days.
Thanks,
Scott & Nancy Stearns

I hope that someone was smart enough to keep a good copy for future reference, or maybe as a digital copy.

Zephyr 47

The Burlington Route Historical Society published a Data Sheet titled, “Standard Color Schedule for Painting Structures”. This Data Sheet was included in an early Zephyr, but I pulled mine out, and it’s not identified
as to which Zephyr. Copied correspondence in the Data Sheet is dated in late 1941. Color photos show both rural wood and larger brick depots, so presumably, the standard applied to all depots, including the depot in O’Neill, NE, which answers the Lines West
part of the question. Color data are presented in a large table, and color swatches are printed at the bottom. Colors are Bronze Green, Indian Red (Structural Mineral Red), Light Buff, Seal Brown, and Old Ivory. Wood depots were Indian Red with Bronze Green
trim. Interior colors were Light Buff walls, Old Ivory ceilings, Seal Brown for pine or fir trim, and Golden Oak stain for oak trim. Doors and wainscot were the same as trim colors. Brick wall were not painted. Freight room interior wall and ceilings were
not painted, but trim was painted Bronze Green.
Paint specifications are included for depots, Signal towers, section houses, shop buildings, engine houses, oil houses, ice houses, hand car and tool houses, out buildings (privies), coal chutes, water tanks,
oil tanks, and cranes.
This Data Sheet is an invaluable resource to CB&Q modelers, and if it’s not for sale in the Company Store, provision should be made to make it available.
