Chuck,

Sorry to hear of your difficulties building the model. That is one of the noted shortcomings of LEGO Factory - the instructions aren’t too good.

I have not put together instructions for that model, although I do have a LDRAW file available, if that helps. Typically when building a Factory model, I dissect the computer model piece by piece to figure out where things go.

Another tip - the F7 and FL9 are based heavily on the LEGO Super Chief locomotive, particularly the nose design. Instructions for that one can be found at

Let me know if you need the LDRAW file, or if there is anything else I can do to help.
