[<southburlingtoncentral@yahoo.com>]

Thanks a lot-these were the things I couldn't find myself. I'll be sure to put up some pics of the completed unit!

1The running lights near the bolster lit up the acces steps and allowed the crew to inspect the ground/platforms near the tracks

2  A single large backup light was mounted on the fireman's side of the rear.  Lifting eyes were mounted above the rear door as part of the door frame/collision posts, also flag holders on the rear corners (of some units)

3 A light green, a bit lighter than GN Glacier Green

4 As units came due for repainting around 1967/68 the red grills were eliminated. most likely due to the pending merger to cut costs

5 Just one grab iron along the door.  Two above the MU hoses on either side

 

Hope this gets you started on your project.  Jim Sandrin

Hello, all.

I'm working on a CB&Q E8/9 (haven't decided as of yet) in HO scale and had a few prototype questions:

1. Did the Q have lights on the underbody (i.e. near the trucks)?

2. What details were on the back ends, such as a lights?

3. What color were the cab interiors?

4. What year did some units have the grilles on either side of the upper headlight removed, if there is a specific year?

5. Were there grabs on the rear end?
