Re: [CBQ] F Unit Diaphragm Color

["ken thompson" <mailboat4@gmail.com>]

Brian,

Thanks for sending this great shot of the 166B.  I've been searching high and low for a shot of a Q F-unit back end ( or either end of a B unit).  For one thing, I wasn't sure if they had backup lights.  I'm still not sure if they all had them?  I see that the 166B also has a hostler window.  I wonder how many B units had one of those?

I'm gathering up supplies to model a B unit starting with a Kato/Bowser shell that'll go on a Kato powered chassis.  I'd like to know how others are doing their diagrams and if they're working or just dummies.

Any input is welcome.

Subject: [CBQ] F Unit Diaphragm Color

 

I was running my BLI F3 ABBA set and noticed that the diaphragms are black, while the Walthers P2K F3 ABA and F7 ABA sets have diaphragms painted body color. The Intermountain FT ABBA set didn’t come with diaphragms. I searched the Flickr archive and couldn’t find a color photo showing diaphragms. Did the Q paint F unit diaphragms body color or were they black?
