Things to note:
1. F7's 167-ABC still have not had the unit letter applied as of
6/19/1964. BB #4 P. 14 shows that sister F7A 168-C had already had the
letter added by May 1962. Same BB P. 22 shows 169-A had letter added
by October 1964. P. 12 shows that as late as 5/26/1965 F7A/F3B/F3A set
164 still did not have the letters added. Many F3's and even FT's had
already had the large letters added by the early 1960's (as a result
of being split up from their original sets).
2. The F's are trailing behind a GP30/HH-EMD/GP30/GP30 set. So they
are either dead or this train is truly being doubleheaded or 167 had
nose MU (Q F's normally had no nose MU). Or did 167 have nose MU (see
next item)? (BTW, if 167 did not have nose MU, this gives modelers an
excuse to prototypically run any trailing A units nose first - but
they are either dead or double-headed.)
3. BB #4 P. shows F3A 122-D with nose MU and states that 122-D was one
of "about eight units equipped with nose M.U. during the early
sixties". In addition to 122-D does anyone know what other Q F's
received nose MU?
4. Can anyone suggest an HO part number for the standard Q F-Unit
spark arrestors?
5. Anyone have any links or pointers to other shots of Q F-units (not
C&S or FW&D) running nose first but trailing in a consist?
