[CBQ] Walthers Proto 2000 CB&Q E7

["jeralbin42" <jeralbin@aol.com>]

List: Walthers showed a new E7 9935A preproduction model at the Chicago Hobby 
Show last weekend, it is also pictured in their November 2009 Flyer. It appears 
that Walthers has made a mistake on the rendering of the steam generator 
exhaust outlet. The Q E7's in the unit number series 9929A,B-9936A,B, 9937A and 
9949 all had 2 steam generators with their exhaust outlets on the right and 
left, 4 foot 1 inch from the pulling face of the rear. That series also had the 
large angled number boxes. The Walthers' model shows only one exhaust centered 
approx. 9 feet from the rear. The Walthers' arrangement would be correct for 
the Q series E7's 9916A,B-9924A,B. That series also had the the small, side 
mounted number boxes. My sources for this info. comes from down on photos and 
the Q locomotive diagram E7, page 37. The diagram can be seen on page 40 of the 
"Burlington Bulleton" No. 10. So my question is, will the production model come 
with two steam generator exhaust stacks? This is otherwise a very fine model.
