[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by lupo Hey guys ( and gals [bow] ) I have a question about Santa Fé Super Chiefs ( TEFFY MAYBE?? ) I just got a Santa Fé F7B from MRC ( platinum series ), to add to my 2 Intermountain F7A's , these are all fine models indeed,I thought the grilles on the Intermountain F were fine mesh, the MRC is even finer [wow] the overall coloring is identical, only the color of the trucks is different: the trucks from the MRC are bright silver, the Intermountain trucks are more grey-ish, who is right ? I post it here, rather than starting a topic, there are more than enough topics popping up lately, and this might silence the critics that think the coffeeshop is not modelrailroad related![:D] [/quote] Good evening LUPO: The silver is the correct color but in a bind they would paint any light color and then go back and do it right. The reason they wanted them to be silver was the fact that grease leaks would show up easier. I don't know how SP knew when they were having leaks as black trucks made it hard to see. It's nice to see someone use their head about a problem instead of starting another thread. cjm89: You can make a spray booth out of a cardboard box with a hole in the front to paint through, a hole in the top (with a glad bag over it) to look through and a hole in the back with a fan on it. When it gets all cruded up, throw it away and build another one. Your only out the cost of the fan - be sure that it has an explosion proof motor. You can get them at Grangers. On Bachman's customer service: The heck with e-mail - CALL THEM - IT WORKS WONDERS. I also call Broadway limited and get very fast service. If a guy by the name of Tony at BLI answers the phone, he's the owner. Have blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
