Yes Bryan, I found the September 2002 MR article on the New England Rail very interesting and I think the CF7 is a great locomotive. When I saw the Athearn announcement I decided to find a place for the CF7 in my layout. I have a small shelf layout which is a mythical short line composed of a piece the old New Haven Railroad. I have some New Haven locomotives from Life-Like. My idea is for the short line to buy a CF7 or two to provide additional motive power. I've seen several pictures of CF7s operated by other prototype short lines which have done no more than paint out the "Santa Fe". I plan to do the same. I also think the CF7 is both unique and at the same time "mainstream" motive power given that they were all F3s or F7s before being rebuilt. My principal concern is that they run slow enough to do road switching work on a small layout. Thanks, Roger
