Nice job on your conversion, Luke. 
While Canadian National (spelled out) did appear on some early tenders, it was supplanted early-on by the "wafer" herald. There were several variations of it, too, with the placement varying from centred on the tender to centred on the coal bunker. Early versions were tilted, then later horizontal, and there were subtle variations in the actual lettering, too. The final version, not applied to all locos, was the circular "maple leaf" herald, as shown on Mister Nutbar's loco. Whichever herald you choose, I think that it will look best centred on the coal bunker, either tilted:

or straight:
