FGLK F7 A-B-A Tiger Scheme

Sitting in Locke Industries, FGLK's revamped F7 A & B units sit drying as the sun falls beneath the horizon. They recently obtained them and have restored them to their former glory and giving them a new paint job of the FGLK Tiger scheme to match.

I guess this is somewhat vintage, I can't really tell.

Cheers,
Adam

October 19, 1954

A lashup of a GP7 and a BL2 cross under the PRR mainline as they bring their heavy limestone train into Mayburry yard in Mayburry, Pennsylvania as a PRR fast freight crosses overhead. The skies have just opened up behind the locomotives as the tumultuous storm overhead finally breaks loose.

Thank you. I really like how it turned out. I agree about Georges screen.

Well it's George what else would you expect? All of his work is top notch.

Ex Sante Fe restored 50's GP9. Chop nose / Topeka cab

A new paint job would do wonders for ol' 2239!

 

[applegathc]

And am I mistaken if I said that that second unit is an ex-CP GP9u?

And can your route get any more realistic??

Hi Cam,

Thanks, and good eye you have spotting the GP7

She is an ex ATSF and built in 1952.

Here is some more info on GWR's GP7 #2243:

Since there are already so many F7s, why not throw in one more?

Cheerio,

[titaniclover]

Nicky, you got my vote for that shot!
Now if only we could get some passenger cars that would match those F7's.

Cheers,
Adam
