My E7's were A-A units from Proto with QSI. Walthers show them as Limited run I think off hand the road number was 1428 and 1424 but not certain.I had trouble with the surging between both units fighting each other on RTC (Regulated throttle) so I set both of them on STC, standard throttle control which is extremly close to having two old style Athearn BB analog units without DCC.I think Wolfgang fell in love with the SOO some time ago on another thread, not sure.I have a ABBA set that I will upload eventually. Im still picking at the CV's on those 4 units. (BLI F7's)I wanted the E8/9's but Proto is too dumb and refused to make the B&O B units powered. I dont believe in dummy units. The engines must earn thier keep, not be a 3 pound deadweight. Memories of a trainset dummy B unit stalling a 4 car train on level track is still fresh after 25 years. I was told to get the slightly cheaper dummy because the powered one cost too much.. what was it then? 20 dollars? No. All engines will earn keep on the main.
