<br />The solo Rio Grande PA-1

There is no solo PA-1 in D&RGW livery - #37612 MFX is double header, only. Thus a bit difficult to compare ...
All my other PA-1s are FX (2 x #29570 NYC, 1 x #37611 AT&SF). Again - good pullers, too [^]

<br />What strikes me here is that it seems to take 5 loco units to pull 11 passenger cars! Are they equipped with lawn mower engines?

Sorry John, I can't spel. How about Uli Schweickardt (aka ETS).
I got my Rio Grande last Fri (9/22) but haven't had a chance to put him on the track. Been messing with bike tires and new ovens.

I sure wish Mother M would offer some cars for the 37612, I like you have all the PA-1's so far, and there just isn't enough passenger cars. How about some Pennys' or NYC passenger cars.

By the way, the PCM cars and engines don't hold a candle to what marklin does. I am surprised that Kato doesn't come out with something. Kato has a Business car that looks great.

You will never never never never never never guess what I got today from a European collector:

This most beautiful set of RIO GRANDE F7s from 1977 !!! Condition brand new, never left their boxes -
what beauties [:p][:p][:p]

Not the slightest trace of use (had them in our lab for proof) - virtually untouched Cool

Guess there'll be no sleep tonight ... biggrin

Wow, what an outstanding occassion! Smile

As it is from 1977, it is still analogic with an SFCM motor, I suppose. Had this motor in my UP F7 before conversion to digital. Now this lok is running absolutely smooth and silent.

There's only one thing I regret: that very specific sound of a whining SFCM has gone [:(]

Fair right, Hans Martin - she got the little SFCM. And since she never left her box in those 30 years of her life she was verharzt, heavily, by factory oil still. But not the slightest grain of coal residue inside her motor, nor any traces of wear and tear on her wheels or the schleifer. Also all of her motor parts are shining brightly - a true virgin [^]

Now after her very first tune-up, plus a little break-in she's running reasonably nice.
That whining sound is there, of course - and so is our beloved Eau d' Marklin biggrin

Very nice John, congrats!! Got my D&RGW F7 set last week from a US collector - makes me think that the postal services must be making a bundle on all this trans-atlantic shipping biggrin

Mine was in great condition as well but not brand new - did come with a decoder though. I know some think this is sacriledge [V] but if i'm to run it it's a must...

PS: John, does your set also have 'fuzzy' edges where the black meets the yellow on the roof? And the same road number on both A-units?

1) YES 2) YES - those were the times, then ... But on the bonus side M's heavy metal F7s are the sturdiest models ever made - beats falling-off plastic parts 40 miles by sunday Cool

I'm looking for the owner of that horse. He's tall, blonde, he smokes a cigar, and he's a pig!

You can rest assured, Nikos Smile - hunting down F7s also won't make a guy rich ... [xx(]

Well, got the famous #3781 TEXAS EAGLE CoolCoolCool double header for my small collection of F7s, today.
Released in 1995, still brand new in the box. And never run by her previous owner/collector Smile
