Not sure what your question means. A U18B is essentially a U30B with 4 access doors removed.

You didn't mention what railroad as there were a few that had them. There are some photos here: http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php

06,
go to www.index.mrmag.com and do a keyword search for U18B.
You will find that have been numerous articles on the U18B. Now you just have to find the magazines that have those articles.
The Jim Six and David Bontrager articles are two of the best on making and detailing this loco.

06archerd, You've been posting a lot of topics about detailing locomotives. The best way to find out details for any locomotive is to either look at photos, or find old MR articles. There's really no need for all these posts on different types, the advise has been the same for all of them.

Hopefully this helps,
Noah
