Well, except for smoke lifters there's not much of a choice when it comes to BB liveries. However, a great opportunity for those who missed her in the past ... Another story is that "new" GG-1 #37493. Since we had hoped for an entirely new look - say the Stars & Stripes livery M did on their mini scale GG-1 some years back, already. But except for slightly different stripes she's a kissing cousin to my GG-1 #37490 from year 2005. Nothing to ride home about ...

Joined: 02/02/2012(UTC) Posts: 30		I have a Märklin Santa Fe F7 A-B-B-B-A Unit and 12 Märklin Santa Fe Streamliner cars to make my Super Chief. I also have a Märklin Union Pacific Big Boy and a lots of Märklin american freight cars (AT&SF, T&P, M-K-T, WP, D&RGW, CB&Q, T&N, TexMex, B&O, NYC, RTL). Right now I´m expanding my american freight car fleet by adding more Märklin die cast tank cars. And I have a Märklin Southern Pacific PA-1 A-A Unit, which will be joined by a MTH Southern Pacific GS-4, as they are both waiting for a authentic Sunset Limited which is still to come in future (I wonder how long I will have to wait for that train (I don´t care about the manufacturer, the main thing is that it should be authentic and non brass). Oh, and I forgot to mention my Märklin Texas & Pacific F7 A-A Unit. My biggest dream is to have my most favorite steam locomotive, the Texas & Pacific class I-1b 2-10-4 #610, in HO scale for Märklin AC, so that it could join my T&P F7 on a long freight train. If Märklin or MTH would produce that locomotive it would be simply the best! I also have a Brawa Rock Island DL-109 for Märklin AC system and a Life-Like Southern Pacific E7, which was converted to the Märklin AC system. Both engines are pulling my Golden State passenger train. With all these US Märklin locomotives I´m very satisfied, since they are all good looking, very heavy and perfect runners and pullers.

Hi Henrik, no changes in MFX-decoders needed as long as you run two identical engines (e.g. two #29575s) in "double-header mode" with your central station With older digital controllers (#6021) and FX-decoders you are in need of syncronising decoders to same address, top speed and brake delay Have fun, John

Very nice.Did you seperate the 3662 Santa Fe and put a 4063 B unit beside them?Maybe it is litlle difficult to carry the four units together.

The more Units the merrier. -Brandon

Joined: 16/11/2011(UTC) Posts: 5,669 Location: Hybrid Home		Thank you Sir, Indeed, now that I am a full-fledged solderer, I extended the wires through the extra B unit, no shell swapping. Consequently, one single-pick up shoe under the blue B unit feeds the engines via the decoders in the A units, respectively. The more units the merrier, but the ABBBA consist - albeit nice for showing off in the forum - is a little bit over the top since it requires extremely long trains for a "balanced" look and consumes a lot of space in the terminal. For aesthetic reasons, I prefer the ABBA formation. Thus, I shrunk the red bonneted F7 consist to ABBA and inflated the formerly blue bonneted ABA to ABBA.
