Topgunner,

  You really have to know what brand of F7's you are looking to convert. Kadee has a web site with the conversion information:

  Not sure if MoPac used diaphragms between their F7's(usually used for freight service).  MoPac did have EMD 'E' units and Alco "PA' units for passenger service.  Also the brand of diaphragm will make a difference in the coupled length.

  I would check with the MoPac Historical group about paint colors and passenger service engines:

  Groups like the above have a wealth of information and the cost of joining is paid for many times over.

Welcome to the forum! ..... Welcome .... Please continue to post here. 

It's not real clear what you are asking. 

I found this website googling "mo pac f7 images" ..... It has a variety of Mo Pac photos.
