Re: [CBQ] Class F-1 0-8-0 Paint question

Ray,

I am not sure where I got this picture but it shows 545 in color. Looks to me like the cab roof is black.

Louis, I looked at the 0-8-0s on Flickr, and while trying to guess color from black and white photos is iffy at best, some of the photos suggest a lighter roof color than the rest of the engine. None of the roofs are shiny like some of the rest of the paint. The color photo of 543 has a hint of oxide under the soot and grime. It’s too bad there aren’t more color shots as the 0-8-0s ran into the mid 1950s, and Kodachrome predates that several years. Does anyone have paint and lettering diagrams for Q steamers? Surely somebody in this group saw some 0-8-0s in action back in the day.
