T&P paint scheme

John Barry
 

When did the T&P start painting the herald on their box cars?  I model December 1944 and recently obtained this kit.

John,
I can't find that info in any of my references,  all the pictures I have of that series is after your modeling date but I will keep digging. In the mean time here is the layout page for that series, it shows the logo.

The Protocraft site states the Diamod logos were added in early 1950`s repaints - see link

Tim,
My references differ, some, like the linked Protocraft article, say early 50's, others say they began to be placed during post war repaints. Your photo lends credence to the post war period, what is the source of that picture?
