I also got that one, brand new in box and never tested. But i know that the dieselmotor-sound and the bell is good on those models. BUT the horn sounds[xx(]..
However, i'v read somewhere and have seen on pictures that some F7's had a 3-tone horn, maybee its that what Marklin (or esu) has recorded? But the SF F7 shood have a powerfull "normal" horn. Does somewhone know if the horn is adjustible from that weak sound to the more common powerfull horn on 37622? |

These locos are very heavy and i believe they need a more powerfull motor(s) , i am not totally satisfied with its speed characteristics . |

Sorry my friend, but that's hogwash - #37622 F7 is one of my more powerful engines if not the most ! Beats any of those new PA-1s, even the D&RGW double header when it comes to pulling power  Adjust top speed to max, reduce acc delay - and off you go  While you are at it - look for dry gears, axles and motor bearings, condition of brushes and slider (this model stems from year 2000) - and select all those sounds according to your personal taste ... If all this won't help tell dealer he sold ya a lemon [}:)] |

You might be right John , but i have compared the 37621 and the 37622 with the ultimate loco , the V188 37284 (the BB is excepted) and i realised that there is no match .
What i have realised is that at a steep gradient 37621-2 cannot move(1-2 speed steps of the cs) , because of their heavy body , on the other hand the V188 has no problem at all . |

A remark about the movement of the loco , at the first speed scale of the cs :
The loco was not moving at a gradient while the motor was "cold" , on the other hand , the loco managed to move after i had her running for some minutes , so as to warm her up . |

Very nice John congratulations , you have a fine collection , i tested the Rio Grande loco yesterday and i have to admit that these double locos seem to be quite powerfull but not something much improved that the fx single PA-1 , i am thinking of buying that loco this year , although i am not a big PA-1 fan . |

Thanks, Ulf Great set of cars, Nikos - congratulations [:p] (got it, too) ... BTW, you couldn't be more <u>on topic</u> [^] Well, we do buy M's new loco releases by the numbers - but we rarely get those cars ... [xx(] Thus for my D&RGW PA-1 I've found one half-a**ed solution. It's far away from being perfect, but it beats no freight at all 40 miles by sunday. And at least the cars' colors match the loco ...  |
