Steam loco lettering

[NW Mailing List]

This thread had piqued my interest because I model N&W in the mid 50's.  
All of the tenders that came with the models that I own have Norfolk 
&/and Western on them.  Did the N&W not have the logo on their tenders 
in the 1950's?  If that's the case, I need to get out the black paint 
and some small decals for the locos.
