Re: [CBQ] Question on BREX Refers

["Nelson Moyer" <npmoyer@hotmail.com>]

I compiled the following paint scheme data from the writings of Bill Welch.

 

1942-1948 Original Scheme

 

Yellow sides

Brown ends, roofs, and door kick plates

Black side sills, sill steps, trucks and side hardware

 

1942-43 car had no dimensional data

1944- dimensional data present

 

1949-1950 Transitional Scheme

 

Yellow sides including ladders and hardware

Brown ends, roof, side sills, and door kick plates

Black sill steps and trucks

 

1951- Simplified Scheme

 

Yellow sides, side sills, ladders and side hardware

Brown ends

Brown, Yellow, or Aluminum roofs (aluminum predominated)

 

This should answer your questions.

Bill,

 

Please try again as the picture didn't come thru.  Besides, I'd expect a 'Zephyr' article on it.

Hi

I just finished a great REFER with cream section.

Modified a plastic HO scale model. And it has a silver roof thanks to you.

The original photo is B&W of this CB&Q Refer 326.
