Couple of questions and observations...
1. A & B units - I assume a "B" unit is a non-passenger / non-cargo unit
that drives behind the main engine? Correct? So on
http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html
the B unit is the second unit in the first graphic.
2. Has it been determined if the 10020 windows are true round windows or
stickers? It is tough to tell from
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=121238
But it looks like printed panels on
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=122760
3. If LD were to produce a Sante Fe parts service pack, it would seem to me
a service pack would need to also have gray wheels and the gray engine sides
along with the window port panels. I would purchase multiple copies of the
expansion set just for the gray wheels and engine sides.
To all those who went to BricksWest, thanks for the excellent coverage.
Ahui, thanks for the transcript. The future for trains is very bright.

| (...) I think the service pack will provide the parts to change the engine into the b-unit - *not* provide the essential b-unit parts you mention... but I'd rather it was your way. (...) Ditto Scott A (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) B units (see my old glossary referenced from the front page of this newsgroup's web interface) are cabless versions of A units. Usually they are mechanically identical except for the omission of controls (or inclusion of greatly simplified (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

| A b-unit is like a "slave" locomotive. it carries another power unit equal (i think) in output to the A-unit, but doesn't have a cab, it's directly controlled from the A-unit cab. the reason being that it offered a lot more flexiblilty to the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
