Model Railroading > Livin' Large, on a F unit Friday

These F's graced an outdoor 7.5" gague track southwest of Fort Worth a couple years ago.
,Both sets are battery powered with full sound system, mars light, etc all the goodies.
I was on a single underwhelming SSW black widow GP7 at this meet.

Those are quite the lashup two four unit sets do you know who built them?  First time I have ever seen them either in person or in pix years back either Mountain Car or Cannon Ball had a three unit set they brought up to Train Mountain.

WOW!

I'm curious as to the cost of (4) F units?  Thanks for sharing your F's.

They are Cannonball units.  Cannot help on other questions.  The WP units have been sold to someone either in Arizona or California.  Santa Fe units still run on the Comanche & Indian Gap RR and are owned there by Danny Click.

Wow those look good!

Just beautiful.You can park the WP ones in my shed anytime.

Agreed. Very nice "toys"!! Would be great to see a set in Rio Grande gold/silver single stripe like the Rio Grande Zephyr Fs.

Boyd - I think the WP units were built by Steve Tune.

In the third photo, the WP units "look smaller" than the ATSF units.  Are these locomotives of two different "scales"? 

SF units must  have been the ones he brought years back to Train Mountain.

 Thanks Shane and to the person about size, don't know the exact scale that the Cannon Ball units were built to but could have been a little larger so the motor would fit inside. Tunes are scale size think but not sure 1.5 check his Facebook page under Museum Trains. Another note one of the members here has expressed that he might be intrested in getting the Back Yard Rails   Great Northern F set up and running along with the passenger cars for it.  Has not run in about 20yrs afte an attempt to put too large an engine in it.  After thinking about it seems the Cannon Ball units were electric I think has been about 20yrs ago.
