@coach joe posted:Mark I was surprised to see you go for the GN paint scheme. But it will definitely add a pop of color. $150 ofr a pair of legacy GPs, that's what a set of conventionals usually brings. Good deal even with the minor deficiencies.
Thank you, Joe! Yes they are out of my normal interest, but at the price, I couldn’t pass. I posted about them over on the ‘What did you do on the layout today’ topic, and Carl ‘Pingman’ gave me the link to the parts list for the similar GP9. I ordered everything except the missing bell with the hope they will fit. I had looked up this GP7 earlier and all that was listed were 4 internal parts. With the Lionel half price weekend, they came to only $30, and I ordered an extra of all just in case. I’ll keep my fingers crossed! 👍🏻
