[CBQ] CB&Q T-1

["Bott, Eric H." <eric.h.bott@outlook.com>]

I’m trying to figure out how to specify a paint job on a CB&Q T-1/T-1a.  The attached T-1a drawing intrigues me no end, as it seems to imply a colored boiler jacket, and a black enameled smokebox.  It doesn’t provide workable evidence for or against a Tuscan cab roof.  Even the cab sides and the Belpaire hips look ambiguous in this photo.

 

Anybody have concrete knowledge of the T-1 or T-1a livery, either at delivery, or just pre-1927?  Does anybody have knowledge of what comes after the “T-1” text below the road number on the cab side?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Tom,

A single Budd gallery car was carried eastbound on the Twin Zephyr
No. 22 on Saturday July 29, 1966.  It was the second to last car,
behind the regular consist as seen departing from St. Paul Union
Depot during the nationwide airline strike that summer.  See Disc #2
in my DVD album http://www.brasscarsides.com/#DVD in the chapter on St. Paul.
