 The only drumhead I ever saw on an N&W train was on the 1949 Powhatan Arrow.

 I'm trying to model N&W's passenger train, The Cavalier.  In real life, it always ran a poor third compared to The Powhatan Arrow and The Pocahontas.  I guess that's why it interests me so much.  But information about it is very hard to come by.
I've found a company (Tomar Industries) on-line that makes Drumheads (or rear passenger car tail logos) of passenger trains.  The rear tail sign for The Cavalier that they offer is so unbelievably crude and childish that I can't believe it was actually used on an N&W passenger train.  I've attached a copy of the logo that they offer for everyone to inspect.
I have two questions that I need answers to: Is the Cavalier drumhead offered by Tomar Industries the actual logo that N&W used?  And, if not, what did the real Cavalier drumhead look like?
