I'm guessing it's out-of-print? I'll give that evil auction site a try for a copy. Thanks! The evil auction site has one for a mere $82.75. I just bought one on Amazon for $25.

And the FT to GE trade ins happened in the 60's, the repowering and retrucking happened in 1956 at EMD.

FWIW, got a new Classic Trains today and it shows an ABA RI power set with I think FA 13 trailing, hump in the roof from EMD repowering (by the RI?), trailing an F7A and B with all three in different paint schemes. It has AAR trucks on it.

This has been a very nice build. Maybe I missed it. What paint scheme are you going with?

Made a little progress on the FA-1m Soon I hope it will be ready for paint. What headlight did you use?

This has been a very nice build. Maybe I missed it. What paint scheme are you going with? Half butter knife with silver trucks, fuel/battery and safety appliances or full butter knife. I'm undecided.

Ah, never thought of using that one. On my two I used the headlights off of an old Athearn Train Master shell, lens inserts and all.

Yeah, definitely the full pinstripe when paired with a B unit.

When I get my A-B-A done one A's going in half butterknife stripes, the B's going in solid maroon and the other A's going in yellow wings/maroon.

I painted the underframe of an Atlas 60' auto parts car to match the body decorated in Rock Island maroon. I used Model Master British Crimson and out of the bottle it is extremely close to the color Atlas used.

I agree. The striping looks straight and well-done.
