This equipment roster is a work in progress, and will be updated as more information is obtained. Paint Schemes are also being researched, but as far as I've been able to tell, there were 3 distinct paint schemes. The original British cars were red and white, quite possibly with a red lower body and white for the upper body. The line's newer equipment (the Ottawa and preston cars) appears to have been painted a bright reddish maroon as can be seen in postcards. After reorganization as the London & Lake Erie, I believe the company colour was changed to dark green.
