One detail part you will definitely need for any Q U-boat is a
shrouded airhorn. These were pretty unique to the Q and the C&S
U30C's. Custom Finishing made a white metal CB&Q shrouded air horn -
Walthers 247-197. I have had some on order for awhile but they haven't
come in. Not sure when Custom Finishing will do them again.
Alternately you can build your own shrouded air horn. Dimensions and
info on building one fromtwo pieces of .060" styrene and a Detail
Associates 1601 air horn can be found in Kalmbach's (Model Railroader)
Diesel Detailing Projects book on pp. 89-91 (article on modeling a
CB&Q U25B).
