@kanawha posted:The C&O Historical Society published the book Chesapeake and Ohio Diesel Locomotives some decades ago. This is the best source for C&O diesel numbering, paint schemes, details, etc. All the GP-7's the C&O ordered in the paint scheme that's on your GP-7 were numbered between 5700 and 5797. Also none had dynamic brakes. The number appears to be an error. The presence of dynamic brakes appear to be a problem with too many variations amongst too many road names for the builder to agree to.
Here's a C & O GP7 numbered 5882 in that paint scheme - minus the "C & O for progress" emblem - with dynamic breaks.

Here's one with the scheme, emblem, and dynamic brakes #5828

Other than that, the only inaccuracy on the model IMHO is the low cab number.
