Gentlemen,
I got an electronic flyer from True Line Trains this week announcing delivery of their CN all-steel box car models. I haven't heard any mention of the cars on this list, so I thought I'd pass the link along for your information and/or review. Here's the catalog listing from Canadian Model Trains: http://www.modeltrains.com/WEB%20-%20CMT/True%20Line%20Trains/HO/true-line-trains-canadian-national.htm Here's a link to one of the cars, with no herald: http://www.modeltrains.com/PICTURES/PICTURES%20-%20Non-brass-1/True%20Line%20Trains/TLT-300000-1%20copy.jpg Here's a link to one of the cars with the Maple Leaf herald: http://www.modeltrains.com/PICTURES/PICTURES%20-%20Non-brass-1/True%20Line%20Trains/TLT-300004-1%20copy.jpg And here's a link to one of the cars with a green Maple Leaf: http://www.modeltrains.com/PICTURES/PICTURES%20-%20Non-brass-1/True%20Line%20Trains/TLT-300008-1%20copy.jpg They're also offering an interesting paint scheme--I've never seen a prototype car with this scheme: http://www.modeltrains.com/PICTURES/PICTURES%20-%20Non-brass-1/True%20Line%20Trains/TLT-300011-1%20copy.jpg John John Golden O'Fallon, IL http://www.pbase.com/golden1014

Judging by the reweigh/repaint dates on these photos, am I correct to assume that the scheme with no leaf was in effect in 1948, the white maple leaf in 1951, and the green leaf in 1954? Are more specific dates for the changeovers available?

Are more specific dates for the changeovers available? 1.No leaves were applied earlier than 1943 2.The white leaves were applied 1943, 1944 3.The green leaf with tilted wafer serves all canada 1945-1954 4.the green leaf with horiz wafer serves all canada 1954-1961 5.the green leaf with tilted horiz wafer canada's largest railway 1945/1946 6.The noodle was post '61 The reweigh dates were not picked to be the earliest use but to hit the maximum number of modelers. The car would not have been repainted during a reweigh thus most white leaf cars were unchanged (except for the reweigh) for 10 or more years after inital painting. etc etc Allen Ferguson
