[CBQ] re: BB#14 hwt pass car color in MoW

["Gerald A. Edgar" <vje68@hotmail.com>]

Ralph - Not at home to look at the specific pic but heavyweights in 
MoW service were usually painted MoW orange which could fade to almost 
yellow (look at slides/color prints to see the many shades 
of "orange").  A few, especially closer to BN merger time, were 
painted a silver grey.  Ex-hwt equipment in MoW service provided bunk, 
tool, diner & foreman office functions.  I did a clinic using some of 
my slides on this subj some yrs ago @ an annual meet.  Bill Glicks 2nd 
volume on Q hwy passenger equipment has the renumberings of those hwy 
cars converted to MoW service.  I suggest you buy a copy as proceeds 
encourage Bill to the final vol of the trilogy on all Q hwy equipment 
and will include many pics.  Pick up vol 1 too with all the scale 
drwgs - both can be purchased directly from Bill.  Inasmuch as hwts 
were in MoW service as well as revenue service in all modeling eras, 
his books are a must no matter what years you model.  Gerald
