Well, for starters you might come attired for the family explanation in an appropriate outfit.....
(P.S.......I'm thinking about wearing the same outfit, pal! Between year-end taxes, next year's home/health insurance bills, vehicle license registrations, year-end charitable contributions, gifts, groaning-board meals, etc., etc., as far as I'm concerned that ship of F's can do a few loop-de-loops around Hawaii on its way to the west coast! oof!!)
Happy Thanksgiving, though!

I believe the recent Trainfest photos showed the correctly painted Santa Fe F7 A unit in the Atlas display booth.

I wonder how they were able to make the "corrections" to that sample unit between York and Milwaukee Trainfest?

hibar,
Can you post a link to those pics? I do not remember see any pics of Atlas F7's from TrainFest.
Thanks

A full Trainfest video was posted on the Model Railroader website.

The model showed the unpainted SS grill I do not believe it was too difficult to either replace the painted grill or remove and strip the paint on the grill in house, beyond the grill I did not notice anything else, there was no B unit pictured, I think Atlas stated this was a simple assy change for the correct position of the body mtg ladders. Also you can see the video on the Atlas facebook page near the end they show the O gauge models.
