Steve. why go through all that trouble: Athearn is bringing the CBQ version
soon (in 3 different roadnumbers 183900, 183967 and 183982). But if you want yo
go on, Oddballs made a decalset for these cars, set# 592. Don't know about the
present
availability but you could try www.destinationtrains.com.
Can't help you with the underbody color question but a photo on
page 88 of Mike Spoor's CB&Q Color Guide leads me to the assumption that the
underbody was light grey also as the outlet
openers are light grey and the walls of the bays -though in the shadow - are
lighter than the black truckframes. But only a former Q employee may be of help
here! Good luck!

Subject: [CBQ] 2970 LO11 Covered hoppers, Below the sill color?
1. I am trying to paint a new athearn 2970 in to CBQ. I have bulletin
# 20 and it lists black below the sills but the pictures seem light or
too poor to confirm this. Does anyone know if they are black or left
the same as the body color? Seems like they sorta stepped away from the
usual with the white color and maybe the black was omitted? Anybody
with more info would be welcomed.
2. the CBQ mircoscale decals (CBGQ covered hoppers) does not appear to
have the car data for the 2970's does anyone know of decals that have
specific info? Since I need another set, I would like to avoid the
cut..cut..cut to get the right data. Thanks, Steve, College Place, WA
