WANTED! Colour Photos of the CP Royal Hudson 2850 circa 1939 for model reproduction

Good Morning

A shipmate of mine Mike Myers (far right) and several of his friends are building a replica of a Royal Hudson 2850, circa 1939. they are looking for technical date or colour photos of the train used to pull the Royal Train that took King George VI across Canada. What Mike really needs is the true blue colour of the Royal Train

Mike has also said that if someone has pictures the two Royal Train cars now located at The Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa this would also indicate the correct blue colour.

If anyone has any info can you please e-mail me as we will be sailing for the Arctic tomorrow and will be gone for a month and will not have access to the Forum.



Once again thank you in advance

Regards

Fergie

If one could roll back the hands of time... They would be waiting for the next train into the future. A. H. Francey 1921-2007
