Hi Folks How many GP7/9s (AZL or Microtrains) would you buy and in which paintschemes? I would buy UP, SP, Rio Grande and BN. Regards Jürg
Jurg, That's a tough question. How many do we WANT to buy or how many WILL we buy? We can only guess at pricing right now. If you compare to the MTL GP35 and AZL SD70M the pricing could range from $125 to $225 US. I know I want some undecorateds to paint up in shortline schemes after I chop the noses. Also want some for yard slugs and NS road slugs. Randy
I'll probably only buy one (small layout) and probably undecorated because my chances of MT doing them in Erie colors is slim to none. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/erie1208.jpg http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/erie1221w.jpg http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/erie1217.jpg
i will definately by one in Rio Grande paint, and might even wait for it to come out as a factory painted unit. i might buy a second to convert to a CF7. i've always loved those Santa Fe rebuilds and the story surrounding them http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=85842 dave f.
If I could afford it, BN, GN, NP, D&RGW. 'Nuff said, but I won't get my hopes up to win the lottery by then!
Yeah David, I would love to do a CF7 too. Some folks think they are ugly, but they are one of my favorites. randy
I was just watching my favorite video Street Running, and there is bunch of CF7 in it. They are kind of strange looking, but they can grow on you.
