Model Forum / General / Railroads / March 2008Info on CN wood cabooses needed
I know I asked about this some time ago, but I've mislaid the answer, and my memory ain't what she used to be. So: What was the colour of CNR wood caboose roofs? Specifically: orange with white maple leaf herald, 1950s/60s orange with CN squiggle, 1960s oxide red/brown with CN squiggle (work cabooses) 1950s/60s Thanks in advance.

There are a few color photos of orange squiggle wood cabs at http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/cn/cn-frt.html that may help.

None show enough roof to be certain of the colour, unfortunately. Seems like nobody thought an overhead view would be important.

Wolf, Have you tried the CN SIG Yahoo! group? ISTR some recent discussion there about van colors, including roofs: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CNLines-CNet/> HTH, Stevert > orange with CN squiggle, 1960s Now I am no expert on modeling, colours or what-ever, but up here that "CN squiggle" goes by the name of "the lazy noodle". Why? I have no idea. However I do know a LOT of money was given to someone to design that lazy noodle -- did I say a LOT, it was a lot of money. A second cup of coffee always works for me >> orange with CN squiggle, 1960s > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > A second cup of coffee always works for me Yeah, I know it's called the lazy noodle, or the noodle, or whatever. I call it the squiggle (and where is "up here", anyhow? I'm in Northern Ontario.) ;-) Signaturewolf k. > Yeah, I know it's called the lazy noodle, or the noodle, or whatever.

Most people living in Northern Ontario are further south than Saskatchewan. ;-) One of the mistaken impressions is that most Canadians live north of the 49th parallel. Only about 1/3rd do. BTW, I would like to know the "official" nickname of the squiggle/noodle, so if you come across it, let us know.

Actually the limp noodles are what airport road designers use to figure out how to confuse us.
