Did I miss the 2019 new F7 model. Is it considered the coke cola engines. I know there was a contest to pick the new livery.

Any ideas when they will be announced

I have no idea. I know they need to upgrade the Mars light circuit, the one is the Super Chief was poor at best in its effect. Would love to see Marklin do some of the lesser known, pretty glory years paint jobs like the cream and crimson of the Monon passenger units(yes they were F3's but close enough for most folks), Chicago Great Western as delivered with all the stripes. So many nice paint schemes out there to keep the dust off those F7 tools for many years. I am starting to collect them myself as I am combining my love of Marklin and American prototypes. Lets hope for more road names from Marklin on the F7's other than a "Coke" item, which is of no interest to me. Mike

Me too, I didn’t ever think I would but after the Kansas City southern set and the super chief I have started to collect them as well!

Like you said plenty of more obscure stuff that they can build. Love to see a Canadian Pacific set like they did with super chief. I feel it would be pretty easy.

Add in Wabash, the black and gold Monon freight units, CNW, C&O, L&N. Most Funits had very nice colorful paint schemes thru the years.

A few months ago, I believe it was on the marklin digital
Facebook page. you could submit pics of F7 paint job. I think the winner will get a free engine if they choose the paint scheme.

It was a Marklin Digital (USA) initiative, posted on their Facebook page on Feb. 16, 2018. The contest ended at the end of April 2018.
