TH&B boxcar

[zoegraf]

Does anyone out there know what TH&B paint scheme would be on a boxcar in 1954? Would it be yellow and black with black door. I saw an intermountian boxcar that had a yellow paint scheme, but it had a date of 1967 on it. Also I know there are two decal sets available, one says black and yellow 1954 and black and yellow 1960, but with no pics. Does anyone know the difference?

I have a friend who used to model the TH&B I could pick his brain for you.
Have you tried the histarical society? http://www.thbrailway.ca/
I always see the yellow with black doors but seem to remember a boxcar red one as well.

The TH&B logo went through some minor variations over the years, with a white background behind it, with just an outline around the logo, etc. I don't really have dates on the variations though, so checking with the TH&B historical group would be a good way to go.

Thanks. I just found the paint scheme I was looking for on a old film transfered to video about branchines in the Maritimes in 1953.
