Steam Locomotives

As a general note, especially to modellers, none of the TH&B's locomotives were ever fitted with all-weather cabs. This may have been due to the New York Central's locomotive standards, but it is very unusual for a Canadian locomotive not to have an enclosed cab. The original paint scheme for TH&B steam locomotives was black, with a red oxide roof. At some point (probably during the 1930's) the roof colour was changed to match the rest of the engine.
