There’s a color photo of F-3 9960ABC on train 39 (Exposition
Flyer) on page 76 of Holck’s Burlington Route Color Pictorial Volume 1. The
photo was taken on March 24, 1948, just before the CZ replaced
the Exposition Flyer in 1949. The newly released Athearn F-3s match the photo
quite accurately, so if you don’t have the book, look online at pictures
of the Athearn model. I have the Athearn F-3 9960ABC set, and they’re
nice models, though not your scale. While the set is ABA, the Q numbered them
ABC, with the rear A unit numbered 9960C.

Subject: [CBQ] California Zephyr
F-3s
Hi,
Am
painting/decaling an OMI brass A-B-A set of F-3s for
the California Zephyr in S-Scale, and don't have any color pictures I can find
on the as-delivered paint scheme. I know the whiskers were black, but have a
question about the color of the anti-climber as well as a sill stripe. Can anyone
steer me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Steve
