[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cbq9911a SP's SD7 were used on locals and in switching. They were nicknamed "Cadillacs" because they rode so well. They remained in service until the 1990's. SP's first SD7 (also the first SD7) is now at the Illinois Railway Museum; it has the same number as the first GP7, C&NW 1518. [/quote] 1990s? Those were long-lived locos! Mine sometimes runs with a U33C (dummy), as my layout depicts a fictional museum line this isn't too unbelieveable. The SD9 was the first loco I bought in HO scale - it's superb for switching work as it will crawl at slow speeds.
