Ed Headington Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 That is one awesome locomotive "consist". Can't wait to see it towing a train of cars out on your railroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamPower4ever Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 First run - on Stefan's layout. No cars in tow, just a test run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamPower4ever Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just for fun, here's the F7 side by side with my N scale Super Chief. The scale difference is exactly 1:5 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginear joe Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yes... Wow! Makes it look like the model next to the real ones! The shelf gave it away. Take that picture outside with the sky in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I missed the video the first time, looks great and you have done an exceptional job on your layout! Very clean and neatly done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamPower4ever Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Thanks, but I shall pass the kudos on to my friend Stefan whose layout it is. Stefan's layout building skills are way better than mine, but as I am leaving my club which currently seems to have neither rudder nor men at the helm, Stefan's layout and garden is the home turf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamPower4ever Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Today I received carrier and storage cases for the F7s from my favourite woodfitter. European readers may recognise the cases as being the work of Mr. Jorissen of the Netherlands. Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Headington Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 WOW!! Those are awesome cases to say the least. That guy does nice work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamPower4ever Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 He does nice work indeed. I have a similar case for my BR50 steamer. To avoid the hassle of lifting out the engine and tender, I've fitted a length of track to that case. That way I can drive the engine straight into and out of the box.

enginear joe Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I just got these in. I still need to fix the couplers. They were set-up wrong. Screens are crushed in from picking them up incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 BTW, I bought these with the understanding that they were in rough shape and maybe not even running. Fact is they test ran great. The trailing A looks barely used. So once again I don't have the heart to gut them for more scratch builds. Urrggg! and my girl once again lectured me when they showed up. What the heck is that!?? (3 units come in a really big box.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
