Can anyone tell me if Athearn has already quit production of it's HO scale CF-7 locomotives? just seems like 2003 they were being advertised and now on Walthers' website they are listed as being sold out and phased out of production. i would have bought one or two of the topeka style square cabbed versions for my fictional michigan shortline, the leelanau county railway.but with recovering from near fatal stage two colon cancer last summer i did not have the income to buy any. also do the handrails come off easily so they can be painted in favorite colors? with everything being either very limited run or only available in much more expensive ready to run i can see why model railroading is not gaining much new people each year.
