F7B 211A is typical of the 200 class boosters in original paint. Road number is stenciled at the front corner (note the "F") on the right side and diagonally opposite on the left side. This was the standard number location on 200 and 281 class boosters, but the FT's and all passenger F-unit classes were numbered at the rear on both sides. Many deviations from this "standard" stenciling are know to exist however! Note the hostler's horn.

F7B 265A shows the appearance of B-units in the 260 through 267 series that did not have stainless steel grills. The Highliner B-unit should be useful for modeling these boosters. 265A was in Emporia September 1974.

Recently repainted F7B at Gainesville, Texas in July 1974 shows the typical appearance of freight boosters that received the yellow warbonnet paint scheme. The wide chrome yellow stripe along the bottom of the car body matched the rear stripe of the A-units and the stainless steel grill gave some relief from the large expanse of blue (except for a few grill-less boosters in the 260 through 267 series that received yellow warbonnet paint). See accompanying chart for details.
