	On pg.7 of the PTM booklet on WP, the bottom 2-photos show 739 at
Trafford With Logos but NO white background.   Car-720 below it at
Martin has logos With White Background!!
	And 832 on the top of the page has the White Background  --  and so
does 212 at the bottom of pg.6.
	Mixed bag on pg.8
		--  724 with White Background
		--  212 with White Background
		--  287 Maybe White Background
		--  724 Definitely White Background
		--  833 Orange Background?

	Pg.10 shows a freight motor with White Background Logo.
	Pg.13 shows white background on 733, probably white background on 723.

	Pg.16 top photo at Hecla, 7XX in foreground NO Logo, 7xx in background
has White Background Logo.   720 on bottom of page White Background
Logo.

	Pg.17, bottom photo of 733, 739 on overpass over PA Turnpike, both cars
have White Background Logos.   And 738 painted white for 25th
anniversary has White Background Logos!

	It seems that the WP White Background Logo dominates and some cars do
not reveal logos.

	Faded or discolored background color could be the effect of film
emulsion; and as I mentioned in a previous post, on 8mm home movies by
us novice railfans, blurs are the rule and detail is almost
non-existant.
