Re: [CBQ] Two tone cabs

["Charlie Vlk cvlk@comcast.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

I hesitate to bring this up, but isn't the tonal value of the cab the same as the roof, suggesting that the upper part of the cab might be Red?  Maybe even the boiler jacket as well?  Talk about spiffy!!!

Ruper - Good question! Attached is another image of 1432, this time with a solid paint job on its cab. No other information on the image. If nothing else, these images will give modelers a good view of both sides of the switcher. Best Regards - Louis

I notice that the top half of the cab (and the bulk of the boiler) is much lighter in colour than the rest of the loco and the tender, and I can’t remember this issue being previously discussed. Looking at other locos suggests that they might also have paler cabs, although the difference is not pronounced. Comments?
