(...) Tim, the grilles aren't held together by any studs at all, just clips and bars (I'll have to take a pic to show you what I mean). If you would like to make stickers for me of the logo that would be fantastic! Thanks a bunch. :) (18 years ago, 21-Aug-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

That is a great model and a great livery. I'll echo Harvey in saying its the best GP7 I've seen. As a matter of interest why is the SNOT for the grills so complicated? Tim PS would you like me to make some stickers for the logo? (18 years ago, 21-Aug-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I've been itching to build an EMD GP7 or GP9 (they are nearly identical in appearance) for a while and I settled on the Indiana and Ohio Railway Company scheme.

(...) Let me check I understand the theory of this - you want 1.5V across the LED, which means the resistor has to take the other 7.5V. You then pick a resistor that gives you a 20mA current at that figure of 7.5V. Then you double-check the power so (...) (18 years ago, 20-Aug-07, to lugnet.trains)
