Zeuke-TT, what's new?

Hi guys,

We will try to create the top 15 of the EMD F7's with the UP, see list below. (And only if I can find well enough colour pictures.)
Regarding PRR, yes it is in list, but we will start with a locomotive without an antenna.

B&O and C&O? Ok I'm ready to buy :)

There were no plastic Lionel locos in TT scale! Lionel locos are diecast metal.

Ah! shows how much I know about the Lionel models...

Yes, that could be a challenge. From Union Pacific, I do not have many examples and they look more phase 2. Perhaps somebody has a phase 1 picture.

Perhaps it is better to start with SP, CN and CNW. SP has bought a lot of these locomotives. See also the pictures below, which is of the same locomotive as Richard mentioned. According to Athearn the SP6202 is a phase 1 locomotive.

Richard, any reaction?

Ciao,
Rob

Hello, Rob -

As an SP modeler, I will vote for the SP version, of course, but also did you note that your prototype photo of 6202 is of the 'bloody nose' scheme. whereas the Athearn models have the earlier and (to me) much prettier and perhaps more popular (sales!) 'black widow' paint - if only one could be offered, I hope it's the latter. edit: in fact, I just noticed that there's a Black Widow just behind 6202 !

Anyway, I wish your enterprise the very best prospects in the coming year, hopefully the world will return to a more normal and sane condition.

@Gerhard,
Yes, I saw that the pictures showed the same locomotive numbers. Where the Athearn model is also slightly different. Anyway perhaps it's wise to start with the Black Widow printout. If that sells we can make a B-version and later on perhaps the red nose.

Were Cotton Belt locomotives used together with SP locomotives? Could you have a F7A and B from SP followed by a Cotton Belt F7A?

I meant this one from SSW:

Perhaps these links answer your questions.

Hi Terry,
This info is very useful, for sure the espee site.

I would prefer an SP Bloody Nose because this is the following paint scheme from Black Widow. A CNW set is of course also welcome.
