Heres what i would say About the CP paint schem,e you are referring to, Although, On hand, The beaver scheme was introduced in 1997, Locomotives really didn't start displaying it until the early to middle months of 1998. CP's eastern corridor, the STL&H, (St. Lawrence and Hudson) at that point stopped relettering CP lcomotives to STL&H. So whats in a beaver? good stuff, if you ask me, but back the locomotives, The beaver, or Crest is a national Canadian emblem. Like Moose and Beaver, most people would automatically asociate Beaver with Canada. What colour is it? Well thats simple- it is not the same as CP's "Action red" or "candy apple red" for that matter, The beaver was simply painted over CP Rails "Systems" paint cheme, which made it's debut in 1993. So it's a gold beaver, over the "systems red" I know they have it at my local hardware store, if you look through the paint sample things, you might be able to find the "CP SYSTEM RED" paint colour. so in effect, there is no difference between system red, and beaver red. The lettering is White, the font used on all Locomotives 1993+ is Bank Gothic. the font used in 1968 in the "action red" scheme is a Helvetica variation.
