Model Railroading > Intermountain annouces HO and N CSX F-units!!!

FINALLY!!!

I have been waiting for this one for a LONG time. Intermountain has annouced FP7 CSX #118 and F7B CSX #119 in the older blue/gray scheme in both HO and N scale.

It have been just WAITING for somebody to finally do a good model of these, especially in the older blue/gray livery. Thank you very much Intermountain!!!

Already ordered my HO A-B set from DCCTrain here in Cincinnati...

Shoot, I was hoping for one in YN2 too...maybe they'll do them in
an upcoming release. It'd be nice to get a complete ABBA set, since
they also do F7A/B's (although 116 was actually an upgraded F3A)

Was also hoping for YN2. (hope IM is monitoring TO) :-)

There is someone that works there that posts here regularly. :)

He got some information from me on NYC Pacemaker Boxcars...

I am personally VERY happy with the blue/gray choice! When I was a kid I saw them on the short-lived CSX Roadrailer and that was the scheme they were in. I only saw them in the YN2 scheme in pictures. But having seen them in the blue/gray in person hooked me on them in that scheme. I still remember the day that I went with my dad and grandpa to visit a lady that went to our church who happened to live by the CSX tracks. As we pulled into the town square in Glendale, Ohio (a Cincinnati suburb on the former B&O Cincinnati-Toledo route) there sat an A-B set of the CSX F's on the Roadrailer waiting for a clear signal by the depot. That day is still burned into my brain...
