(Somewhere) I still have an old RPP CF7 that I painted up. I seem to remember it having some running problems, though. Once I get back to MRRing, I might have to get me one of those "new" CF7's!!

Re: paint remover, I've always liked Scalecoat's paint remover, but I'm not sure whether it's still available or not, but it always worked great!

it such great news that Athearn has come out with the CF-7 ready to run. now none of us model railroaders will have to use a shell from Rail Powers Products. i sure am looking forward to when Athearn releases an undecorated version of their CF-7. I am going to get 1 or 2 of the topeka type angular cab CF-7's for my HO scale Leelanau County Railway. They will be painted Railbox yellow with black lettering. What would be best way to paint on of the undecorated models? if the undecorated version comes with the windows intact how could you paint around them?
