Re: [CBQ] E7 with Shadow Lines

Ray,

The original E-Unit Bulletin (#10) shows a very deteriorated shadow stripe paint scheme on 9921B on December 31, 1950.  The caption said it was re-painted shortly after into the standard scheme.  We had a discussion on the old list many years ago, where I acquired a photo that seems to indicate another unit was painted into this scheme.  I believe other people (Hol?) corroborated this fact.  I'll have to dig around for that photo.

Subject: [CBQ] E7 with Shadow Lines

I'm looking at modeling the E7 with shadow lines, #9921. I have a one photo of it but would like to find additional ones. It appears to me that the Q did NOT paint a red stripe on the upper part of the engine, as well as on the lower rivet line as well. The anti-climber also does not appear to have been painted in red. 

I would assume that the nose and imitation grills, on the side of the upper head light, might be black, since the red side striping is missing.

I do have other photos of 9921 but without the shadow striping. 

If anyone has information on this engine, I would appreciate it. Also,how long did it retain the shadow striping. Did the matching B unit also have the striping? 

Thanks,
