Re: [CBQ] FT Lettering

Bill/all,

 

I also am hoping Rapido changes the one FT number to 110CD. I had recently asked Rapdio which "year" they were using for the FT set, as I wanted to model it very late in its career- just before being traded in. I got this back from Bill Schneider:

 

Hi Rob,

 

Great timing - I'm working on that artwork right now! We are doing the post 1950 version with the wagon wheel, grabs and door light. 

 

Hope that this helps!

This is what I had asked:

 

Hello! Quick question on the CB&Q FT units- are they the “as delivered” version, or a date “later in life”? I wish to have mine in a late era, just before they would have been traded in for 2^nd generation power. (early 1960s) As such, they would have the wagon wheel antenna (most likely) and the grab irons up the fireman’s side of the cab (and the one longer grab near the top of the cab door). Can you advise which era you are offering on the CB&Q FT?

 

I then aksed if it woulld be possible to change the 110AB to 110CD...no response on that question (yet). Fingers crossed- but in any case, if I want an FT set, Rapido is the way to go.
