Back to your original question, James Eaton:
I don't see how you could go wrong with either of the Atlas F7's, except if you are a truly dedicated modeler of my Home Road. The prototype 37 and the 45 were from different production phases and did differ on some car body details. Atlas is surely not going to produce both phases, but that much attention to detail is not usually a problem for 3-rail modelers. In O scale 2-rail, or in HO, they won't tolerate it.
The Atlas F7's will surely be good, durable runners like all of my previous Atlas diesels, and I am sure they will apply the paint and the simulated stainless steel in a correct manner.
I ordered from Sunset, because I want a bobtail 300 or 325 Class, not a 37 Class. And, I am absolutely sure that Jonathan (who posts on the Forum - see post just before this) will be sure that all details of paint, headlights, etc., are as faithful as possible.
