Hi,

 

I thought that brass is more accurate but the Hallmark N-scale brass E5B has the same radiators as the A unit.

So far the best photo  I could find of a E5B top is on page 68 of the FWD color pictorial book by Steve Allen Goen.

Other ones are a partial view on page 79 and page 106 and indeed it looks different.

However, in Harrison street view (page 12) of Michael Spoor’s book CB&Q in Color Volume 2 it looks like the covers are the same…

 

All the best,

 

Dan

Now you know why I’ve cautioned people to hold off on doing resin shell detailing or bashing E5s…. it is really gorgeous.

This is the first time in any scale AFAIK that, since this is a Phase I E5, that the E3-style roof radiators have been properly modeled on a production model. 

 

In case the request comes up, does anyone have good, clear roof shots of the E5B units?   They had a unique radiator style that needs to be properly modeled….nobody has got it right yet and I’d hate to see them tooled with the A unit radiators by default.

After some Googling (Kato makes a Shinkansen model also called E5) I
found the picture at

Thanks for the heads-up, Brian.
