Is there a Mike in the house

Nice loco's

(seems the crew doing the red company logo on the tenders must have had a few brews at lunch on some of them- some are straight, some lean, some in the middle, some towards the rear)

what's the story on those??
(was there a pattern or reason for moving them around like that, or was it just the boys liked a few too many brews at lunchtime??)

;-)

Hi Boppa---I'm pretty sure my good friend Doctor Wayne takes all the precautions when he paints my locos so we can't blame paint fumes for the variation on the tender heralds.
I checked one of my books:"Canadian National Steam Power by Cregg and Corley" for clarification.When the Canadian National Railway was created in 1923,it adopted the tilted rectangular insignia from the Grand Trunk Pacific railway.It was applied at the same angle until 1954,when the application was changed to straight horizontal for simpler installation.
Even though the boys at the paint shop most certainly enjoyed their refreshments,they were just following corporate policy
