Haha! That's too funny! Why am I so well pleased? It's sad that it happened to them but it's funny what they put up, Asian lighters!
I've still got a heap of these and, yes, the design really does show its age now but when I started in Z it was all we had and it was always much better than the Marklin attempt at an F unit Brooklyn likes running them as A-B-B-A lash ups on his Alpine layout but I keep telling him the B Units have all the free rolling characteristics of a house brick!

Place your bets Ladies and Germs on what the next MTL F7 release will be - ATSF Warbonnets? D&RGW SP Bloody Nose SP Black Widow Milwaukee Road B&O Great Northern …..or a pleasant surprise? Just grateful we are seeing MTL come to the table… Ohhh, and they are now taking pre-orders on a new round of 60’ flat cars….???
…….and the latest MTL F7 release is, wait for it………wait for it……….. NORFOLK & WESTERN !!!!! Dang, didn’t see that one a commin’.
Interesting though, cause the N&W passenger cars coming out are the dark blue, hmmmm.... And the pre-orders look interesting too!
Also a re-run of mtl gp's and sd40-2 would be great... these are still my best running locos.. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A528B met Tapatalk
