I ahve seen them but none at the LHS and no really great shots online. If you've got one, can you take a few pics on a layout or maybe point me to where I can find a really sharp review? I model NP and I'd like to know how they stack up before I commit one to the head of my local commuter train :) Brownie Points if you can put it in front of some smoothside apssenger cars (my plan!) Thanks everyone!

Looks like I can one-up this little loco- I bought the Intermountain FP7 and F7B, in the above paint scheme (N.P. Loewy from the NCL), on Saturday. Let me tell you, guys, these are some of the finest little locomotives I have ever seen! Simply jaw-dropping detail and the smoothest drive I have ever seen! Review to come shortly :)

Well, here's a review of the Model Power FP7, and the Intermountain review is here.

I suggest you keep this site in your favourites - he's reviewed *every* locomotive produced in N scale.

The Location: Forests of the Pacific Northwest, Oregon
The Year: 1948
The Scale: On30
