Re: [CBQ] SW12 Question

Ricky:

Coming into this discussion late, but the two orders of Q SW1200s were Phase II versions (CB&Q 9271-9280, built 9-10/55) and Phase IV versions (CB&Q 9281-9292, built 7/65).

The Phase II units had round "crowsfoot" handrail stanchions bolted to the top of the frame, and three lifting eyes on each side of the hood:

The Phase IV units had flatter "channel stock" handrail stanchions bolted to the side of the frame, and two lifting eyes on each side of the hood:

The Rapido model appears to be accurate for the Phase II units, 9271-9280.

For those interested in such things, the production phase differences between EMD switchers were detailed in X2200S #41.

All,

I do have a question about the two orders of SW12s.  It appears the later units came in the big Burlington lettering, also some had all weather windows and no wagon wheel antenna.  Are there other differences between the two orders?  

I ask because it appears that most of the Lines West (which I model) SW12s were the late order and the Rapido version looks like an early version.  I also have an older P2K version that I was relettering to the larger Burlington on the hood.

Thanks,
