Steam loco lettering

[NW Mailing List]

 It was on the cab side by the time the Y4's were built in 1927 - maybe earlier.

You're misunderstanding, in the fortunate way.  You're good to go.  In the '50s they DID have the "Norfolk & Western."

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.

 Jim, 
  I agree with Jim Nichols.  A quick search of the stenciling diagrams on the NWHS archives page yielded these two hits: 
  https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24965  https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24964 
  Note the original date of the drawings is May 1941; perhaps someone at the archives can check the stenciling revision books and do a reverse search; this might help identify when stenciling was removed from the tenders.

   I think it started earlier then that.

    Does anyone know the exact dates for when "Norfolk & Western" was stenciled on locomotive cabs rather than on tender sides?  From photos I have seen it would maybe be mid to late '30s to early '40s.   Thanks, Jim Cochran   ________________________________________
