I do too!!! I'd likely be in for an A-B-B-A in freight and 2 warbonnet B units as long as they came out at least 6 months after the PAs. All units powered like last time would be a must!

After seeing how the new Atlas F7s look I emailed Scott to see if he would consider a rerun of the F7's in Santa Fe. Would you guys buy? i think he needs at least 70 more units in 3 other road names to pull it off. I'm in for at least a 4 unit set if not 5

What is wrong with the Atlas version?

Scott just opened up Preorders for a rerun of F7s mid 2017 prodution. Im cancelling my Atlas order

Ah man, he didn't included the SF freights....I'll have to email him

Read the lengthy thread over on the 3-Rail 027, Hi-Rail Trains Forum.

Will try for the Conrail F7A

I know some want this next run to happen quickly so they can have their El Cap and EB motive power. BUT... 

If this run were to be made 6 months after the PA's & EB which appear to be coming in the fall, maybe it could be a bigger run with more options, including Northern Pacific f units which will likely be highly requested if the North Coast Limited is announced after the Empire Builder is made. Of course we would need a Santa Fe freight option too  

No thank you, and let's not forget 3rd Rail's F7's were prob the most problematic of their diesel productions.

It seems hard to believe that 3rd Rail would rerun the same problematic model or even one with many of the same problems. 

Hi Guys, Not really familiar with the paint on the SF F7's.  Could someone give me a site for a good image of the EMD F7 War Bonnet and the Black Widow?  I appreciate your help.

Santiago, refresh my memory, was it the details that were off? I remember some grab irons on the nose were wrong and some lift rings or something

Let's just say that you'd be better off swapping the fuel tank in the atlas for Lionel's. Besides 3rd rail f7's also show high water pants. 

The beauty about the way we make our diesel models is that any details we got wrong on the first run, we can correct on the second run, because only the bare shells are tooled in plastic. Everything else are brass casting add ons. The 2nd Run F7s will not have any of the same errors as the first run. 

The second reason is that we are now away from the factory that stopped supporting us. Now we are with an independent team that is dedicated to serving you, THE CUSTOMER. 

We will add the SF Freight Scheme tonight. Thanks for your support. 

Oh, and if any of you have information about corrections to the tank that are needed, please email me. 

Regards,

Scott Mann

glad to know that they are doing this. I canceled my Atlas units because of the crappy China vertical drive. and other issues.

Scott, will all due respect, how come I've been pushing for 3rd rail to add the black and yellow río grande alco PA for months, I've even started a whole thread with multiple people interested and it hasn't been added. And a couple of people ask for a re run and a paint scheme and its added in a matter of hours? 

Here is is the link

I love my Sunset RG F7 despite the drawbacks, and if you can improve them and people want them that's awesome. But I'm truly excited and cannot wait for the rocket TA set and your Alcos. 

My SS RG F7

WOW! Demo F7's!

Scott, you peaked my interest! So the demos are an A-B-A arrangements will I get two different numbers if I order two a units- in 3 rail?

Hey, how come when reserving an F7 demo B unit it shows up as a GN unit?
