I've just finished work on my new SOO F7 Diesel.  Come on over and take a look.

http://www.easystreet.com/~kjmrr

Take the link immediately below "What's New"... its listed as "SOO F7".
Fairly straight forward.

I'm trying to figure out if I have enough of the right pieces to build a B
uint to go with it.  I think that would be really neat looking!   Does
anybody know where I can get some pictures of the F7 B units?  In the same
road name and color scheme woudl be best, but I'll settle for anything right
now.  I've only found one rather curmmy picture of a B unit so far.  Any
help would be appreciated.

And let me know what you think of the A unit I just put up on my site! :)

Thanks,
Kim

What really impresses me about this model is the ingenious way that you mounted those round windows. :-) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

  Re: F7 Diesel engine
 
Very nice, Kim. The Soo is (was) a midwestern line, and so that and the Milwaukee Road are my favorite lines to model. I see you decided to model in purgatory scale (7 wide;) Actually, I've found that modeling in odd numbered studs is rather (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Wow, that is a great showcase peace. It looks great, and you have introduced a lot of new techniques! That nose, the windows, the round windows (nice trick making those fit in right.
