Hi,
I'm not sure if this was discussed before on the list but I just came from
the Broadway-Limited website:
http://www.broadway-limited.com/products/E7.htm
They are comming up with a CB&Q E7A.
Unfortunately there's no B unit. Maybe they do only the A ?
Florian,
The CB&Q only owned 3 passenger B units, and they were all E-5s, with the
corrugated side panels. Modelers of other roads may be disappointed at no E-7B,
but Burlington fans don't need 'em.
Maybe it looked a little funny, the California Zephyr swelled with Christmas
passengers and snow in Nebraska, but it really reminds me of the CB&Q to
remember three or four A units at the head end, nose-to-tail-to-tail-to-tail
like a parade of elephants at the circus. Much more character than mere B units
<grin>!
