Re: [CBQ] E Unit & F Unit Paint Schemes?

I liked the black, but the red was quite striking. Depends on the day which I like better.

So the F units were left as grey backs when the Q went from black to red. The E units had their nose stipes and "grills" changed from black to red.

Where do you fall on the issue?

No difference

Should have left them black

Liked the red much better

Why do you feel the way you do?

I am not so much interested in percentage break down (hence no poll taken) but what your thoughts are on the color and why the Q changed one type but not the other covered wagon.

For me I have always been partial to the black nose stripes. I think it looked better with the stainless steel. Since the left the F units alone I would have done the same thing with E's.

I know that by the time of the switchover what the stripes and grills were supposed to simulate had been lost to time but I still think they look better.

So, what do you think?
