[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Philcal</i> <br /><br />Roger, I'm pretty certain D&RGW used EMD F-7s in the joint line service. Alco PA-1s would also be a possibility. You shouldn't have any trouble finding reasonably priced models of the locomotives you need. Engines painted in D&RGW passenger colors could be a problem. Athearn makes a pretty good F-unit, especially in the Genesis series. The older Athearn Fs are great in terms of performance, but the molds are over 40 years old. Athearn also used to make a PA model, but the molds are about the same age. Proto-2000 (now Walthers) makes a very good PA model. I think the only real problem you'll encounter is finding the correct paint job. I know this reply is very general, but hope it helps you some. <br /> <br /> Phil Callahan <br /> Phenix City, Seaboard and Southern Railway <br /> Montgomery Alabama <br />[/quote]
