Soon to be available in O Scale:<a href="http://204.156.4.221/manuals/oldcats/2007DAPBrochure.pdf">http://204.156.4.221/manuals/oldcats/2007DAPBrochure.pdf</a><a href="http://www.mth-railking.com/">http://www.mth-railking.com/</a> "June 13, 2007 - M.T.H. Electric Trains has released its 2007 Dealer Appreciation Program (DAP) brochure to M.T.H. Authorized Retailers. Counter copies of the brochure should begin arriving at your local retailer by week's end. "As in the past, the 2007 Dealer Appreciation Program features a limited selection of items, each in a specially marked D.A.P. package, that will not appear in any M.T.H. catalog in their DAP configuration. To make these limited edition products truly special, we offer each Authorized M.T.H. Retailer only two of these special packages. "This year's program is headed up by a Norfolk Southern F-7 in the railroad's glossy Executive Train black and white paint scheme. In a nod to its heritage, the Norfolk Southern decided in 2006 to replace the modern engines that hauled its executive train with a set of vintage diesels. Through an equipment broker, they found a set of EMD F7's with a long history. The A-units were built in 1952 for the Baltimore & Ohio, while the B-units were originally delivered to the Chicago Great Western and the Chicago and North Western. In 1981, the four were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudson for a new career with MARC (Maryland Rail Commuter Service). After being retired a second time, they went to RailCruise America for dinner train service and then to the Kansas City Southern, which later declared them surplus and sent them to the equipment broker that sold them to the NS. "This time, it looks like the four wandering F-units have a permanent home. In late 2006, they were towed to the Norfolk Southern's ex-Pennsy shops in Altoona for a full mechanical and cosmetic overhaul. They emerged from Altoona in a paint scheme that harks back to NS predecessor Southern Railway, but with the Thoroughbred, Norfolk Southern's corporate symbol, emblazoned on the nose of each A-unit. Their maiden outing with the company train (minus one A-unit that was not yet finished) was in early April at the Masters golf tournament, and they have since been spotted throughout the Norfolk Southern system."
