Tim--a great model.
When PBL imported the B-4-Fs, I ordered 75.
The Three Amigos
Subsequently, I was able to pick up both 74 and 76 second hand from others. 7th Street Shops installed the DCC in 74, and it is currently a favorite on the layout. Derrell noted that PBL imported 74 with markers that are more correct for the RGS than the C&S. Also, there is something funky on all three models about the tube descending from the spark arrestor: it looks crowded between the bell and stack compared to prototype photos.
Though I think these locos are true C&S engines (7th Street serviced them starting early in their careers), others on the forum may observe that they are, "not really C&S locos." They have a Ridgeway spark arrestor, and that counts for me.
