    Hello,

    since yesterday I am the proud owner of two beauties,
    these are more specifically two of Athearn SD70M,
    with McHenry couplers.
    One is the UP # 4635 and the other is # 207 of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF)
    where I can find no example photos for the # 207 .
    Here, both at once.

    Even if there should be no # 207 for the real model, she's just a beauty.

    Both locomotive's I find very good detaild,
    I'm curious how they can go on my small testoval.
    But I think they'll still Supern with the etched parts of BLMA,
    as grab irons, the fans, cut lever and what I think or even the notice.

    What I immediately noticed that I still must colour the MU's to highlight them.
    Always open to suggestions, what is missing in both still.

    One more question on the McHenry's:
    Are these compatible with the MT's?

    The two couplers are compatible they do hook up. As for uncoupling via the MTL magnet process I will let someone else chime in. Jim
