Re: [CBQ] FT Lettering

Rob,

I model August/September 1963. I've been told by a retired Q employee that the FTs made trips very late in their lives from Kansas City to St. Louis on the GM&O trackage rights because the GM&O would only allow 4 axle power.

I asked Craig Walker about this from Rapido last March when they were at a local hobby shop. He wrote down the information, so I still hold out hope.

Bill/all,

 

I also am hoping Rapido changes the one FT number to 110CD. I had recently asked Rapdio which "year" they were using for the FT set, as I wanted to model it very late in its career- just before being traded in. I got this back from Bill Schneider:

 

Hi Rob,

 

Great timing - I'm working on that artwork right now! We are doing the post 1950 version with the wagon wheel, grabs and door light. 

 

Hope that this helps!

 

Bill
