1044-301000 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. Mineral Brown and Red (Rd #'s 78274,78336,78264,78485) (Dec 2006)
CNR 78307 is painted in the all Mineral Brown / CNR Red No. 11 color scheme. This scheme was applied from the CNR's ca 1920 inception to perhaps as late as 1946 and likely could be found in-service as late as 1954. Photo from the John Larue collection.
1044-301005 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. Morency Orange w/Tilted White Maple Leaf (Rd #'s 78525,78339,78403,78565) (Dec 2006)
CNR 78403 is painted in the Morency Orange with Tilted White Maple Leaf Monogram scheme. This scheme was first applied in December 1943. It is quite possible this 1943 application was only an experiment and thus the full implementation was delayed to late 1945 or 1946. This scheme was applied until late May 1954 and could likely be found in-service as late as 1961. Photo by Robert Wanner.
1044-301010 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. Morency Orange w/Horizontal White Maple Leaf (Rd #'s 78257,78312,78352,78426) (Jan 2007)
CNR 78792 is painted in the Morency Orange with Horizontal All-White White Maple Leaf Monogram. This scheme was first applied in late May 1954 and is shown in its most common variation of this Monogram. There were also instances where the large "N" in CNR was left in the background Morency Orange color (i.e. similar to the treatment of the large "N" in the earlier Tilted Maple Leaf Monogram). It should also be noted that all the later Horizontal Maple Leaf Monograms were considerably taller than the earlier Tilted Maple Leaf Monogram (75 inches versus 64 inches). This scheme was applied for approximately 18 months until mid November 1955 and could likely be found in-service as late as 1963. Photo from Howard Ameling collection.
1044-301015 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. Morency Orange w/Horizontal Green Maple Leaf (Rd #'s 78316,78442,78491,78377) (Jan 2007)
CNR 79017 is painted in the Morency
Orange with Horizontal Green No. 12 Maple Leaf Monogram.
This classic scheme was adopted in mid-November 1955 and was
applied until 1960 when the Green No. 12 portions of the Maple Leaf
Monogram were omitted. This interim change was presumably due
to the impending change to the "CN" symbol, and, as well, to
achieve cost savings. This classic scheme could likely
be found in-service as late as 1967. That said, now "CN" was
clearly on a mission to rapidly eliminate the more visible elements
of the old "CNR" including the livery of its cabooses.

1044-301020 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. Morency Orange w/Noodle (Rd #'s 78306,78351,78371,78501) (Feb 2007)
CNR 788433 is shown painted in the initial
Orange-Red version of CN Orange No. 11 with the "CN" Symbol" logo
and CN's new standard lettering font. This respected and
well-remembered scheme began to be applied to cabooses in mid-1961.
From that point forward, CN "CN" was clearly on a mission to
rapidly eliminate the more visible elements of the old "CNR"
including the livery of its wood-sheathed cabooses. Thus
examples of even the last Morency Orange and Maple Leaf scheme were
rare by 1969.

1044-301025 TrueLine Trains - HO Scale - CN Caboose 4 Car Asst. 2 w/Orange w/Noodle (Rd #'s 78478,78255) 2 w/ Great Slave Lake Railway Yellow (Rd #'s 78811,79034)
CN cabooses 78811 and 79034 were drawn from CN's Western Region roster and repainted in 1962 at Port Mann BC into the livery of the CN-owned Great Slave Lake Railway. That livery used CN Yellow No. 12, Black, and the recently introduced "High-Visibility" font invented by CN's Research Department to enhance railway worker's ability to read equipment numbers on the fly. These two cars were apparently the entire GSL caboose fleet. Photo Courtesy of courtesy D. Lisabeth of CN Lines SIG
CNR 78822 is shown painted in the later
Red-Orange 1968 to 1978 version of CN Orange No. 11 with the
by then familiar "CN" Symbol" logo. As stated elsewhere by 1969 the
last Morency Orange and Maple Leaf scheme were rare.
