Massachusetts' Two Footers / Re: Edaville Railroad

Thanks.  There seems to be a lot of conflicting information.  Even Moody's 1947 book isn't correct with the Edaville roster.  He has the #18 coach listed as Mount Pleasant when it was B&H #16.  I have a compilation steam roster from 1971 on the way, it was referred to either earlier in this thread or elsewhere.  Hopefully that will fill in some of the gaps.  Hoping to see some of the WWF bunch at the Big E next weekend!

What was the B&H number of the Edaville combine #11 referred to in the post above?  I see it frequently in videos from 1991.  According to the 1947 book by Moody, there is a baggage #31 that came from the B&H, is it the same one?
There is also later reference to SRRL combine #14 that appears to have been Franklin & Megantic #3.

Is it safe to assume that all the cars in the OP came from Edaville?
Thanks!

I have a gallery of my photos from the last 12 years here:  https://pbase.com/baywing/wwf_2013
Something to look at during the winter.  If WW&F staff want to use any of them, just let me know.

Thanks Bruce, I'll drop you an e-mail.
Thanks Bill, I've been here for over 12 years but not active.  My original login must have dropped out as I had to create a new ID.  Anyway, I find myself with more time as I recently terminated a 38 year relationship with old Rhinebeck Aerodrome as their staff photographer.  (Lack of appreciation for all the volunteer hours I put in).
The time period I'm interested in is around my visit circa 1984-86.  I have a few slides from the day but none of the right angle and certainly no where near the volume of photos I would take today in digital.  I appreciate the info and will follow up with Bruce.  I think that silver-white is similar to what the D&RGW used on their K series locos.

Massachusetts' Two Footers / Edaville RR Locos #7&8 Graphics

I recently found On2 models of ex-B&H #7 & #8.  As I rode behind them during their time at Edaville, I want to paint them as they appeared there.  I'm looking for some help with the Edaville logo on the tenders as well as the numbers.  What I need is clear dead-on side shots so I can have decals made.  I've seen a couple of post cards that come close but they are too small and pixelated. 
Possible better than photos would be graphic patterns or a font type.
Any help is appreciated!
