Hello:
Here is some pictures of my new MTH Premier 20-20246-1 Pittsburgh and Lake Erie GP7 with PS3. Has great detail and awesome sound that is prototypical for the P&LE commuter train that the real engine pulled between College, Pa and Pittsburgh, Pa. Would definitely recommend this engine who wants a detailed engine but has a small layout.

You can fix the louver issues, esp with a black bodied loco. Your choices are:
Archer louver decals or
O scale America louver plates.
Nice looking engine, enjoy.

Very nice.
Impressive looking engine.
Never heard of the America louver plates. Where can I find them?
The other issue is that the handrail stanchions are different between a GP7 and GP9.
The GP7s had cast, solid bar stock "T" shaped stanchions while GP9s and onward had stamped steel U-channel stanchions.
This detail discrepancy is not unique to MTH's version; Lionel's GP7 was done the same way.
I love P&LE from my days in Pittsburgh. Good looking engine.
