Letters and number found on the box my granddaughter brought along with some activity in it yesterday. Pastel lettering and number.
For Macro Mondays, theme Pastel.
from M Parker's library: "look at the rich blacks!" esteemed as the most gorgeously printed book ever (poorly photographed here), from post war Germany. Zapf did all lettering. i've forgotten the punch cutter's name. bad form.
The Tuscan red & gray paint scheme, with gold accents, rolled debuted on Canadian Pacific in 1949. About 10 years later, in 1960, a modified version of the paint scheme was released featuring script lettering on the long hood. Jump forward another 60 years, and CP decided to revive the paint scheme on 5 rebuilt SD70ACU's in 2019. They look very good.
CP 2816 and the Final Spike Tour needed an additional diesel due to issues with one of the FP9's on Rich Mountain, and to help with upcoming grades in Mexico. When the train arrived in Shreveport, someone noticed CP 7013 nearby and realized its paint fit in perfectly with the special. They gave it an impromptu bath and added it to the train. Freshly washed, that script lettering looks really nice.

So we thought we'd made a good purchase on a couple of ex-UP SD70s. But considering all the emissions requirements and the extra money they'd cost us to operate yearly, and the fact that the Lake States Railway wanted to do some horse trading, we let the 70s go to them in a trade for a couple SD40s. We put them in service upon arrival, but repainting is far down the list of priorities right now. So I came up with a lettering plan to incorporate into the Lake State's blue and grey paint scheme. This is the result and it should work for a while. We've also had many compliments on the layout so everyone's happy until we can eventually break open the IN black and yellow paint cans.

Couldn't get all the lettering in, but the partial wording on the glass partition / sliding doors spell "Brisbane Powerhouse".

I assume this to be the most comprehensive technical manual on neon ever published. Subsequent reprints are easy to track down and it makes a great companion to Neon: A Light History, by Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein, which was just released last month.
