Any interest in a rerun of FP7's for 2018 from 3rd Rail? I would be in for the PRR 5 stripe aa set

SP Black Widow or Frisco black and gold without Mars light (original configuration).
I would rather see the FT's rerun with the ballbearing drive and newer sound package
While I have three in 2 rail PRR, I would like to get a Tuscan B unit to add to my one Tuscan A. Also, former SP units in Amtrak would be pretty cool. The FT would be a cool rerun, but I got the road I was interested in as an ABBA set. Maybe some new road names like Old & Weary and couple of others would help that move forward.
Yes. SP Black Widow FP7s in 2 rail since I missed the last run.
Sorry LOS, I should have been more specific.
You want 3 rail FP7 Black Widows? I have an ABA set I might be willing to let go ...email me or text me 951 500 0506

I am sure there is an interest in having another run of the CPR units done as well as the Canadian cars
I am looking for both at this time

I would like to see 3rd Rail do a run of EMD F9's. I mention it here because perhaps another FP7 run might be viable if combined with an F9 production run.
GGD mentions that an NP North Coast Limited set is "to be announced", which just begs for an NP F9 A.B-A set to pull it...

Why? The FP series of F Units are longer than the standard series of F Units (F2 thru F9). I can't imagine the builder trying to manufacture two different diesel models at the same time.

Well I do hope some interest has generated a possible production run for 2018. BEsides the two Pennsy Flavors, I would also be interested in the Demo version as well!
I second the interest with Albertstrains. Another CP A unit and/or B unit in 2 rail for me would be great. I have one pair from the first run that I found on the "bay" (wasn't back into the hobby when orders were being taken the first time) and I am currently looking for the other A unit road number that was produced back then.

You do know these are the Canadian (built by GM of Canada) demonstrators that only toured north of the border. I don't recall La Grange campaigning an FP7 demonstrator.

Doesn't matter. It looks and fits American rails and the paint scheme is colorful! I want the A-B-B set!
It looks like the other A unit is behind the A-B-B set, so you could have an A-B-B-A set.

Thanks, Bob
Actually, if you look closer, that background A is a BAR unit.

Actually, I think that's the other set of FP7/F7B demonstrators.
The BAR only had F3's:
GMD fielded two sets of demonstrators, both A-B-B sets: 7001/7002/7003 and 9051/9052/9053. Both sets eventually went to the Soo Line.
Some of my latest research seems to indicate both demonstrator sets were built in La Grange...

I also believe the Demonstrators ended up on the Soo....
