[CBQ] Re: HO Model of the Aeolus

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

Noel,

Actually, the shrouding for the two locomotives was not identical. There were 
subtle differences, primarily due to the equipment under the shroud. The main 
differences were the headlight and exhaust inlet vent grills on either side, 
the skirting cutout around the driving wheels and the shrouding around the cab 
and front of the tender. No. 4001 was equipped an all weather cab while no. 
4000 had a standard cab open at the rear. The shroud around the headlight area 
was different because the 4000 had an Elesco feedwater heater and the 4001 had 
a Worthington SA. The skirting around the driving wheels was the easiest 
identification. The opening was squared off on the 4000 and was more gracefully 
curved on the 4001. Hope that helps. Comparing photos of the two locomotives 
will show the differences. Photos of both locomotives can be found in BRHS 
Bulletin No. 33.
