Thanks, Robin  ... Well, colors can be somewhat tricky - especially in cyberspace  Edit: And thanks for the link re the booster unit. But with a small layout my main problem is space - thus I've to avoid longer trains, most of the time. That fight for centimeters ... [:I] |

Hi John, Your collection of F7 is extraordinary, and the Texas-Pacific colour sceme is not so wide spread. I suppose the loco is the digital 2-motor version ? BTW here's the web page of a model railroader who has them all, I believe, with some nice pictures: http://www.zuckerfabrik2...senbahn/MaerklinF7_1.htmHans Martin

Hi Pierre, Hans Martin, thanks for your kind words, friends , but my F7 fleet is small (only 11 units, so far) Well, on the positive side - there are soooo many I can hunt down, still ... And you are right, that gentleman from "Zuckerfabrik24" (funny name [:o)]) got one especially nice site re U.S. Marklins - one of the very first sites I stumbled over when googling Marklins, years ago ... The #3781 F7 is 6090 digital-fx, <u>one</u> DCM. Just happy I've found her - T&P may be a fallen flag but it's my home railroad, for all times [:p] John |

Palle, I do observe those beautiful sets since quite some time - they generally end up at ~ €500-600
However, no money available for such at the moment. Especially not before X-mas ... [:(]

Oh oh - so you got her, you really got her ??!! Congratulations, Palle - give us some pics [:p] BTW, technically she's identical to my #37622 F7 A-B AT&SF double header with full sounds. But that 2nd B-unit and those two motors create one super strong & cool triple header. No doubt - #26600 F7 A-B-B WP is M's top-of-the-line Diesel combo ...    |

Thanks guys When I saw them on eBay as "buy-it-now" items I didn't hesitate a moment. And yes, they are all A1 items indeed, not a scratch and even the wheels appear brand new. Not even the slightest sign of wear and tear [^] |
