Re: CR logo



Just to take it totally off topic:

Did CR ever vary their maroon and silver paint job, eg, promotional
schemes like the QR or NSW anniversary schemes ?  I've always been
tempted to model them but would like a few different coloured locos.

The NC2 shunter stayed green and cream but AFAIK it was never actually
used out on the line. Ditto for the black/blue 44 tonner.

Any other variations ?

Cheers

Ben
