[PRR-talk] Blue Line PRR Engines

[Chuck Friedlein]

Bob,

Sorry, I can't answer your question regarding the Blue Line locos, but I can 
tell you the new Proto 2000 PRR F7s from Walthers.

You may have to wait a couple of months until they're available, but the 
wait will be worth it as they will not only have the trainphone antennas, 
but also, the two MU receptacles (dynamic brake and control MUs) on either 
side of the headlight, the large lifting lugs just above the anti-climber 
and the pilot MU hoses (4 hoses--just clip off those that don't match your 
specific number when comparing to photos) and the correct horn (and horn 
tone.in those equipped with QSI sound/DCC).  Besides the above, the 
windshield has been retooled from what was done on the first ones that are 
currently on the street so it is correctly recessed, not to mention the new 
14:1 helical gears and high torque, high efficiency, high horsepower motor 
and diecast metal knuckle couplers (the old plastic P2K couplers are a thing 
of the past).  Oh, I forgot to mention they'll have all the grabirons and 
ladder standoffs in the correct positions as well as the correct windshield 
"eyebrow" grabirons--note some are attached at the top of the roof and some 
are attached on the sloped part of the windshield area.  Everything has been 
applied as per photographs of the road number printed on the loco.

Chuck
