Chinese Red did not come into use until the late 50’s, I think 1958 (not home so cannot look it up). Prior to that CBQ stockcars were a dark boxcar red, close to a brown.

Noel - I can't answer your first question, but I can the second, FIVE. The following Wales West whistle blow video is a little dated (I'm now quite a bit grayer), but will show you what an O-5 whistle looks like:

No doubt my whistles would've sounded a lot better with 200 psi steam, but this will give you an idea.... These two Q steam whistles were pretty much standardized on most classes. Best Regards - Louis

First question is: What color were the Q's 36 and 40 stock cars painted? Were they Chinese Red?

Second Question: How many chimes were the 0-5 whistles?

Thanks Much
