Hi Guys,
I saw this photo and was wondering who the manufacturer is. It is a highly detailed model and even has a Kaydee front coupler. I'm thinking it is an Atlas model but I'm not sure.

This set includes the following 4 Atlas O products, one each:
- Atlas O 30134014 - F-7 Locomotive "Santa Fe" (Powered) - A Unit - 41L
- Atlas O 30134015 - F-7 Locomotive "Santa Fe" (Powered) - A Unit - 41A
- Atlas O 30134046 - F-7 Locomotive "Santa Fe" (Un-Powered) - B Unit - 41B
- Atlas O 30134047 - F-7 Locomotive "Santa Fe" (Un-Powered) - B Unit - 41C
Most of the modern tooling locomotives from any brand have similar levels of detailing, perhaps even the same actual manufacturer (which does not mean the same tooling, though).
I have the Atlas NYC F2 A-unit, powered, and I removed the swinging pilot and O-gauge coupler, and replaced it with the provided frame-mount pilot and scale coupler, as this loco will never be a trailing unit.
I'm not up on diesels a whole lot - is Atlas the only 3RO provider who includes the swinging/fixed pilot, big/small coupler swap hardware? Nice touch.
Thanks guys for responding to my inquiry. Great looking units!

Yep and that's why I went with them for my Western Pacific F3s.
