I conveyed my disappointment to InterMountain, explaining that cancelling the B units was a deal breaker for prototype modelers. I hope other Q modelers, whether or not they ordered sets, will do the same to encourage InterMountain to learn something about a prototype before offering a set or cancelling parts of a set.

Nelson,

 

Actually the Q ran ABA and ABBA sets of F's almost until the merger! For example, I just ran across this ABBA lashup in mid-1968: http://condrenrails.com/CB&Q/F7.html

 

There is a photo in Spoor's CB&Q Volume 2 page 68 of an F3A (124-D) F3B set sitting at Savanna in June 1966.

 

There is a web photo of an ABA set at Shabonna, IL in September 1967 at https://get.google.com/albumarchive/111371098753160118549/album/AF1QipOpXyNE7W-3jaeFcdke3hgJ_dNJLgjI8EvIVRJu/AF1QipO4GB8W3Tq_-0BXyia6YsOGxUSoexZytN0hYNQu?source=pwa#5657456609105298434 

 

So, we do need B-units.

 

These are just the photos I have logged for the C&I, and I just ran across the ABBA going into Galesburg this week. It really caught my eye because it was an ABBA set and very late in the 60's.

I was just notified by my dealer that Intermountain canceled the B units of ABA and ABBA  F-3 sets without any previous notification to those who preordered. They will ship only A units beginning September 26. If you ordered sets with B units, and the Q only ran sets until around 1960 as far as I know, you may wish to cancel your orders. Otherwise, you’ll be left with a bunch of A units, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of two A units running back to back.

 

Extremely disappointed would be putting it mildly.
