Trainboy_4,
If you checked the photo of the "nose" artwork, posted above, you'll see that the nose strips & grills are indeed black. I have also furnished all the information on the "CB&Q special" grab irons & handrails which hopefully will be on all the CB&Q models.
Concerning CB&Q E5 models, since CB&Q was the ONLY railroad to roster the fluted stainless steel E5A & E5B units, I am not aware of any plans for Sunset/3rd Rail to offer these models in the future. The E5A is a "shovel nose" configuration, like the E3 and E6 units also.
