I may b e wrong, but going through the Holbrook & Lorenz caboose book, the only
cupolas that have the four corner grabs are the NE13's. It seems the rest have
the ones going the length with the bends to center like you mentioned. John

Subject: [CBQ] Walthers CB&Q Waycars Paint
I'd swear I saw an email on this topic once before, but can't find it now.
What brand/color paints match the brown (Walthers #932-7503) and red (Walthers
#932-7568) waycars? I need to paint the grabirons (and yes, some touchup from
drilling the grabiron holes along the roof of the cupola only to find the drill
bit had emerged through the upper cupola side).
Also, the cupola roof grabirons for the red waycar (and the AMB waycar kits
for that matter) are one three-sided piece for each side of the roof that
extend the length of the roof, with a 90 bend at each end and an short
extension toward the centerline of the car on either end of the roof. In
contrast, the brown NE-1 waycar includes four 90 degree grabirons, with an
intermediate eyebolt for each; one grabiron for each corner of the cupola roof.
I don't believe this is accurate, is it? The posted photos of Doug Harding's
waycar models have the two single roof grabirons along each side of the roof,
for example. I believe all of the CB&Q waycar photos I've seen are also of
this design, rather than having corner grabirons.
Thanks,
Scott Myers
