BLI Undec E8 Question

[High Hood]

I've noticed in pics of BLI's Undec E8s that they are missing a lot of details like pilots and doors among other things.  Do the missing details come with the engines and are modeler installed, and are there different types of pilots or doors included that are modeler installed?  Thanks.

Loose parts with mine are etched stainless steel grills, two pilots, (one with coupler pocket doors open, one with them closed) windshield and lens inserts, horns, diaphragm, casting for dual headlight, wire grabs, and silica gel.

Cool!  Is the open pilot freight or passenger?  Does anyone have a comparison pic of the Kato E8?  Outside of the extra detail are they any different shell wise?

You have to be very careful ordering undec E8s. I spoke with the owner at Springfield because I was looking for a specific type to kitbash a Conrail OCS engine. He told me they will run a certain type of undec each run, and that if you need specific details on the model to contact them. He also stated that decorated models are easy to take apart and strip. I ended up buying a NYC decorated version and stripping it. Most parts popped out without trouble with the exception of the porthole windows (which were plated over in the Conrail units anyway).

Thanks Daniel, I wasn't aware each run's undec was different.

I think there are the following variations to the basic model:
Standard and Farr etched grills
Freight, Passenger and Closed Passenger pilots
Single or Mars equipped light packages
