Re: [CBQ] Ovehead shot of an E5B

Charlie,

There is an overhead shot of an E5B in the book "Train Pictures" by Charles B. McCreary on p385. Some how I recall there were comments at last year's spring meet about this shot and how it was rare in showing the overhead view of an E5B. The detail in the picture in the book is not great due to it's size, but perhaps the author can provide a blown up image that would provide the necessary detail.

Speaking of taking pictures from bridges…..

Anybody ever get an overhead shot of the roof of an E-5B?  

The E5-Bs had different radiator vents than either the Phase I or Phase II E-5A units (for what reason may be lost to history).   None of the shots I have seen show enough detail to determine what was going on up there…..it may be just chicken wire over the vents but it would seem logical that they would need some sort of regulation of the air flow just as much as the A units…

I would like to correct scale drawings for the units just in case I can convince somebody to make the A&B units in HO and Kato the B unit in N….

Thanks,
