Action at the roundhouse

[cn nutbar]

Watching your pictures reminded me of CNR early freight engine lettering scheme, the one where "CANADIAN NATIONAL" was spelled full lenght in bold gothic white letters... I've rarely seen it in HO, probably because it was quickly obsolete.

Hello Matt---I checked Clegg and Corley's "Canadian National Steam Power" for a reference regarding insignias : "originally motive power on the component divisions was identified with the names spelt out in white or silver coloured block letters on the black locomotive tenders but in 1927 the system adopted a rectangular herald or monogram"---therefore,if you're modelling the Canadian National between 1923 to 1927,the lettering would be correct

Back in Leetown,the best location for railfanning is the Mary St. roundhouse turntable---as the table rotates you can get some great shots
