Model Railroading > New York Central E7A, E7BDate: 12/31/24 13:58 New York Central E7A, E7B Author: Frank30 A number of years ago, perhaps 15, I gave my friend a pair of Proto 2000 New York Central engines, EMD E7A/E7B in the two tone
lightning bolt scheme. He has helped me with my project over the years and this was a thank you for that. His project has kept him busy enough such that he never used the engines. Fast forward 15 years and I gave him a NCE Power Cab system to operate the engines. I have used System One and then NCE as my DCC control system since the very beginning in the 90s so I am familiar with decoders and sound, etc. I opened up the engine today and found QSI Quantum operating system, vintage before 8 or 9 pin decoders, let alone 21 pin! I looked in the Walthers book, they do offer the engine, but not the NYC scheme. So the question is is there a manufacturer who is currently offering what I am looking for. That might be the quickest way to resolve this matter. I can update the QSI with SoundTraxx later. Anybody know of a source? Thanks.
