I got MR's December issue and see that on page 96, the photo of the Q E7
9935A has the large number boards. The photo shows the single steam
generator stack. The fine print does say that this is a pre-production
model - so maybe there is hope that the production model will be correct.

It is really a shame that Walthers has not done a large number board Q
E7A. Hopefully they will get not only the steam generator right, but release
this as a large number board unit. ANyone have any idea why they might not
have done one already?

It appears that Walthers has made a mistake on the rendering of the steam
generator exhaust outlet. The Q E7's in the unit number series
9929A,B-9936A,B, 9937A and 9949 all had 2 steam generators with their
exhaust outlets on the right and left, 4 foot 1 inch from the pulling face
of the rear. That series also had the large angled number boxes. The
Walthers' model shows only one exhaust centered approx. 9 feet from the
rear. The Walthers' arrangement would be correct for the Q series E7's
9916A,B-9924A,B. That series also had the the small, side mounted number
boxes. My sources for this info. comes from down on photos and the Q
locomotive diagram E7, page 37. The diagram can be seen on page 40 of the
"Burlington Bulleton" No. 10. So my question is, will the production model
come with two steam generator exhaust stacks? This is otherwise a very fine
model. Regards...Jerry Albin
