Re: [CBQ] SW12s

CB&Q 9281-9292 were so-called Phase IV SW1200s, among the last ones built, and as such have a few differences from the LL P2K model.

The Life Like model has rounded buffers above the couplers; this is correct for an SW9, but not an SW1200.  It also has a six-louver battery box and three lifting eyes on the side of the hood, correct for SW9s and Phase I & II SW1200s.  Finally, the Life Like model has solid handrail stanchions, rather than the channel-style (like on Geeps) found on Phase IV SW1200s.  It does have the large stepwell openings, which are correct for Phase II, III and IV SW1200s.

There is a good discussion of detail differences between the production phases of EMD switchers in X2200S #41.

All this said, I run a stock LL P2K SW9/SW1200 in CB&Q livery on my layout and sleep just fine at night.  :-)

Here's one I just happen to have quick access to.  The Q called them SW12s but they were actually SW1200s.

Does anyone have or know of a picture of any of the SW12s 9285-9292.  They were on lines west and I am looking to detail a LL P2K SW9/1200 (which I believe is the same as a Q SW12).
 
Thanks
