MTH Yellow Bonnets - Just for PTC

Let's see, first it was Mike yesterday, and now Jim. I had stored the image of these beautiful Yellow Warbonnets deeply in the back of the closet in my mind. I was happy.  At least I knew that Scott Mann was going to produce the Yellow Warbonnets in the next run of F7s, so I had rationalized that it is OK to wait patiently. Now the door to that closet is wide open again and all I am going to see in my dreams are those Yellow Warbonnets.  It just isn't fair. You have forced me to write to Scott and plead for him to start production immediately. I will name names and put the full blame on Mike and Jim. They made me do it. 

 

Jim, thanks for the video. It really does a super job of displaying them on a beautiful layout with the GGD Sante Fe cars behind them. Just a super video.

 

We just returned from a Church dinner, and watching this video made my night. Many thanks.

Wow, what a beautiful video!!

I posted that video on here awhile back. It was a few months ago in San Diego at the 3R club. I had just finished painting all those diaphragms on the GGD cars.

Good-looking engines a nice video.

Great video...and nice job on the painted diaphragms...

Laidoff,

 

Did you fix the pilots on those MTH F3's, or did they come as 2-rail units that you converted to 3-rail?  

 

They are truly beautiful (as are the GGD cars).

Oooooo that was nice.

Thanks guys. Mark I did fix the pilot on the lead unit only. The passenger cars still have the claw, so I left the claw on the rear A unit to couple to the cars. The cars look good enough to me being close coupled already, it's not worth the hassle to convert them.

 

I am going to re-route the stupid tether on those units through the doors and get rid of that ugly connection under the couplers on the ABA set.

 

ARE THESE THE ONES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?

I believe that MTH did Yellow Warbonnets in both their Premier & Rail King lines. LOS's set I believe to be the Premiers.

 

For those who want a set of Yellow Warbonnets, you can still order a set from 3rd Rail that will be very accurate scale F7's with all powered units. The last I heard from Scott Mann was they are planned for next Spring. I have an ABBA combo on order. They should be spectacular.

Not trying to start something; I am not knowledgeable about Santa Fe.  Is this scheme prototypical?  

Yes they are Forrest.  Search the forum for an earlier thread about them - lots of great info an d photos!
