Just informed by Hennings that my Reading GP 7 came in. I didn't count on this until early next year!
What a Christmas Surprise!

Went to pick up and test mine at Hennings yesterday. Runs great - slow and steady - great for use a a switcher. An early Christmas Gift to me.
While I am not a big diesel fan, I am very happy with the performance of the Reading GP 7 at Worlds Greatest Hobby Saturday. I was pulling 9 to 10 cars without straining. My only dislike, is that the long hood is in the back and cab forward (on controller). I was used to seeing them with the cab in the back, and other members of the club confirmed they were used that way initially. Still a fun little engine.
What's nice about Flyer chief is that you really don't have to change the wires, just start it in reverse, and that way you can run the long hood forward. I just got my Reading GP-7 last week also along with a Norfolk Southern Baldwin. As a kid I always ran the Flyer GP-7 with the long hood forward, Back than it look right to me, now it doesn't matter.
