Jack,
#1. John L is corretct.....only the E-5's had B units.
#2. Mike Spoors Color Guide has 3 color photos on page 15 of the
converted troop kitchen cars. From what info I has seen and info
written here on the "List" the only color that they were painted was
green.
#3. Silver Charger... Have seen plans in Railroad Model Craftsman but
no article on scratch-building one. BRHS Bulletin #13 has the drawing
of 9908 reproduced from the RMC on page 45 (check BRHS website for
availability of #13). Model Railroader published an artilce on doing
a Pioneer Zephyr by kit-bashing using Athearn passenger car bodies.
That was a few years ago...Check the BRHS web site for "Q" related
articles (both prototype and modelling) or go to the MR web site and
check their archives. You could possibly use those (PZ) intructions
as a basis for doing the Silver Charger.
#4. Table Rock yard.....Okay listers.....who can pony up an answer to
this one????
Hope this helps.
Greg K.
