c.sam posted:Here are my newly arrived Northern Pacific F7's from the 2000 catalog. Probably the 2nd phase of production which succeeded the first models introduced in 1997 with scale ABA F units with truck mounted motors in all three engines. Thanks to MERKREWSER for this information.
These have TMCC and vertical motors but no cruise nor smoke in either A's. The B unit has smoke however.
I have this set, with the B unit and the cars. It's really a gorgeous set. The cars are very hard to find (there's also a matching heavyweight business car, the "Yellowstone"), and I've never seen another B unit. The B is unpowered. The two dual-motored A units work very well together. Personally, I'm glad they don't have smoke units - simpler layout, and less to go wrong (a consideration with engines from a company no longer in business). At some point I'll be adding ERR cruise units to them.
