Tethers on K-Line's B&O F-7 K-25106TC

redjimmy here!  If that set is anything like the K Line F7 Sante Fe's that I have which were made in the same year............if I were you I'd run, not walk to get that set (so to speak).  Great looking.........paint flawless.........good smoke.......not much on announcement features (which I never care for much) and great pullers!

    The oscillating front headlight looks great...........I could go on..........I say they are all great bargains......and come October 2013 York I will try and purchase another K Line F7 set (different road name).

Paul,

       I have the ABA and the AB set both repainted to BAR,They are excellent runners but lack cruise. Justrains had them on blowout in 06 for $250&300 respectively. They are very detailed engines.

Thanks Gunny, not being very familiar with TMCC locomotives does it slow down on curves etc? I will be running it under Legacy.

I believe the B&O units were equipped with TMCC & Railsounds.  I have the Canadian Pacific set, which does have TMCC, and I didn't notice any slow down but I use wide radius curves.

BUT...if yours do slow down, a cruise control add-on from Electric Railroad (ERR) is readily available and is designed for TMCC installations.

Paul,

       Mine do not slow on curves or even slight grades! The railsounds are basic and they have smoke,All things considered they are nice units.

Gunny

Thanks John I will be running it on 042 curves so it may need a cruise upgrade

Okie dokie, I pulled the plug and made the purchase.

They came both ways, agree with redjimmy, buy them now!

LOL look up!

The engines arrived and appear to be brand new in the original shipping carton, but when I opened then no paperwork or manual. Any Forum member have a manual that can be copied? I checked the Legacy K-Line site and they don't have any manuals there that I could find. Appreciate any assistance on the manual.

Any tips on getting those tethers hooked up also appreciated lmao! Dang they look cantankerous!

The seller located the manuals and is sending them, still could use some tips on these tethers lol! I thought the MTH ones were tough!

Finally got all the pins lined up exactly right and plugged in. What a beautiful set, engine sounds great also. Will do some pics tomorrow, need to see how to run the TMCC under legacy.
