Yup...I'm not sure what happened to the lettering ...that's the way they came. Those are the best running MU-2 engine's I have though, so the missing letters don't bother me

My only F-unit, a Redbox offering with one of those great MU2 motors. It purrs right along, even in the snow!

Nice thread.
Here's one of my favorites in my collection - the TYCO Burlington Northern F9.

I think I posted photos of these before, but the C&O F7s I have come in two different paint schemes.
This is the first paint scheme. It resembles that used on the E8 passenger units, but as far as I know none of the F7s were painted this way, but the similar FP7s had this paint.
B unit for the first paint scheme. The real FP7s came with F7Bs that were painted this way.
The second paint scheme reversed the blue and silver colours. I have never come across a photo of a real C&^O unit painted this way, but I think I like this one better than the first one. I have yet to find a B unit in this paint scheme.
Here is the A-B-A set I have. None are powered, and I need to find a good cheap drive for them. I'll orobably find a used Athearn or Bachmann drive at the train show, or if I can't find those at reasonable cost I'll buy new Hobbytown drives for them. They look too good to sit on a shelf.
