Hi Guys, thanks for your nice comments about my GP7. I’m really pushing the envelope here bringing a Great Northern Geep way down south to a Florida setting. But, hey, if reality was what I was shooting for, I wouldn’t have an HO railway on that outer line... it all works for me.
Today, I’m ordering a FC Norfolk Southern Baldwin Switcher for my wife to give me for my birthday in April. I can’t wait to have both of these FlyerChiefs running together on my layout, using the universal remote and/or the App to control them..
Tom, my layout is a work in progress, and I’m taking your point about the clean look to heart, just in time to stop me in my ‘tracks’ from loading the yard up with structures... maybe just a ranch house near the stockyard and a roof over a passenger waiting area for the GP7 to pull a passenger coach up to (a GP7 pulling passengers? Isn’t that some kind of violation of tradition and protocol?).
Ooops, I’m wandering off the “FC GP7 Info” topic of this thread here... I have to say, though, how much I appreciate what we have here with all the helpful advice and expertise on the ogrForum. With this kind of support, coupled with the continuing development of S-gauge products by Lionel (and American Models, etc.), it seems like a great time to be getting back into AF model trains after my decades of neglect.
