Thanks for that info, Brian.
I am personally aware of how that works with the mixed brake cylinder arrangements, but maybe others aren’t.
It’s good to point stuff like that out, J-I-C.

Also, I did get a response, re: the C&NW “Blue-Devil” units from Kurt Kruse
over on the C&NW/yahoo-groups site.
He reveals that the only unit in the group C&NW got, that had the large eagle on the side of the car body was the 3044.
The 3039 & 3041both at least had the number’s size & location re-done,
probably both were completely repainted at that time?
I also found out the 3039 was one of MoPac’s “Double-Eagles”.
So, as it works, I’ll use the 3039 I ordered, re-number it to 3044,and patch it
with a C&NW herald on the cab.
I’ll figure out what to do with the 738 later… :~)
