Lowering Lionel F7s

Is that a Jack N the Box antenna ball on the roof? 

Mmmmm. Jack N The Box. 

We don't get those yummy burgers out here, on the right side. Nor In n Out. 

I thought you might be interested in an update… The F7A now has a Protocraft front coupler, frame mounted ladders, including one for the nose grabs, and an ATS shoe.

Someday, I’ll find a powered A unit and out an interior in this one. Meanwhile, stay tuned for another update soon.

Thanks,

Hello Mario

    I see you move at the same speed as me. Looks terrific so far. Thanks for the update.

It’s funny because it’s true!

…almost 6 years to the day!

Cool to see this subject pop up again. I lowered all my diesels some years back.

I dug out the F3s, as I need to add the ladders.

Ok. Last one. I promise. I did some work on the coupler of F7A 1685.

Hello Mario

I just received the Lionel sharks 2133250. I would like to fix the pilot and close up the opening. Any suggestions or experience? You can use raymondm630@gmail.com

But of course!  Follow Norm's instructions here: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/40989965008539463.  I did...

One of the best things you can do is grab a pick and pull out the plastic shields behind the grilles; opens them right up.

I’ve added more to the fleet…
