Studio Shots: PSC CB&Q BE-1 Express Ex-Troop Kitchen Car

regarding my hudson. I want to remove the MARS light for a prototypical 40's look, however I can't remove the automatic train control box without damaging the paintjob. Would it be a monstrosity if I remove the MARS, but leave the ATC? The front of the boiler is removable, this means I can just disassemble, fill in holes and re paint. Opinions?

Santiago, I'm not an expert, but I think the ATC and MARS light were added at about the same time. If you want to be prototypically correct, you should ask that question on the CBQ - Yahoo Group.

If you are a member of the Burlington Route Historical Society (BRHS) you should already belong to the BRHSlist on Yahoo. A spin-off of the group is the "CBQ" Yahoo group. This is where we exchange modeling and prototype information with all our members. It's a wealth of information and knowledge. You would be surprised at how much history is available within our group and everyone is more than willing to provide answers to question such as the you are asking.

Thank you, Ray. Maybe I'll just leave it as is and forget about it.
