The Atlas U25B is a great engine.

I didn't see any U23s on their site, but they do make an N scale B23-7. Would that work?

I could have *sworn* I saw an MGA "Super 7" when I was at this shop last week: http://www.esthershobby.com/.

You might try the frame and mechanism from the Atlas U25B, that might be closer to the actual length. The B40-8 body would be a good starting point.

Monongahela Super-7 Locomotives - N scale
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 7, 2006 12:16 PM
Greetings,

I want to model the Monongahela GE Super-7 locomotives in N scale. Atlas makes a 'B40-8' in N scale that could be used as a starting point (i know it's a bit long, but in N scale not that noticeable).

Does anyone have any information on how to model the Super 7? Anyone done this before?

I know the prototypes were built off of old U23 frames, but i don't think a U23 is available in N scale....

Anyone have any more information? Thanks

Rich
