Question MTL SOO-line F7?

Hello,

When I saw the news about Maerklin releasing the E8/E9 I looked through the the rest of the PDF and noticed that Maerklin is also releasing a H0 SOO-line F7 set. Then I saw that MTL is releasing a KCS F7 for Feb. The brown/red colour looks very close to me. Are they? Do you know? I don't need any KCS F7 but I would very much like to have a SOO-line F7. I will eventually paint one of my F7B red and white and run it together with a red and white GP30 because that's what I have seen on my DVDs from the 70s.

Cheers
Mikael

 

I like the KCS F's too-cause it's really close to the Chicago Great Western that I wanna' model!! Just need some CGW decals.....

 

Do you mean something like this?

 

Yes exactly, adding a yellow stripe and the lettering. But perheps the KCS is too red and too dark coloured. And has a black roof. Just a thought. Good looking engine. Looks like Gerd has been involved here. I think I recognize the diorama.
