A couple "Hot Rod" F7's are used to haul our coal train
as the "A" unit has a huge lead weight for ultimate traction.
The cars are my operating type with live coal loads able to pull 18 of them.
I'm going to break down and install window glazing , number boards and constant
lighting soon. The sound for these will have two engines running with one
of them miss firing.
The pilot was cut away and a die cast snow plow installed with coupler.
Brass wire hand railings were attempted in a few places. Five chime brass
horns let you know when this train is coming through. The cast on fan and
exhaust panels cut out and detailed ones installed. Some opening were cut
out of the side body panels to match those of the "B" Unit Highliner
kit. Graffiti artist attacked the "B" unit to devalue this engine
set from the rest on the fleet. |
