Is that a club layout or your layout? Looks fantastic. Very nice weathering on the gondola in photo 3 Rapido is becoming one of my most highly admired manufacturers. Two rail items have extremely significant personal sentimental value to me: San Diego Coaster Bi-Level Commuter Cars, and Santa Fe round roof CF7. I never thought I would see a high detail HO scale model of either....until Rapido just happened to produce BOTH!!!..what a coincedence Thank you Jason so much..... and thanks for sharing CF7 250 photos!! Date: 09/01/26 23:02 Re: Rapido AT&SF CF7s have arrived! Author: BlackWidow This is my home layout. While I do like to weather gondola cars and have done many of my own, this particular one was purchased that way. It kind of inspired me to start weathering gondolas!
Rapido is going to make all my other locomotives obsolete if they keep bringing out locomotives like this one. It sounds as good as it looks! Date: 09/02/26 06:04 Re: Rapido AT&SF CF7s have arrived! Author: mcdeo Waiting on my pusher to tell me that mine are in stock. Can't wait.

Date: 09/03/26 08:26 Re: Rapido AT&SF CF7s have arrived! Author: BlackWidow First of a set of 9 photos taken from may layout over the years. I started building it December 20, 2014. Scenery started in January, 2019. Right now scenery is about 50% complete. I am working on a large chunk which will hopefully get that to 65% by year end.

   Date: 09/03/26 10:05 Re: Rapido AT&SF CF7s have arrived! Author: inyosub I lobbied them real hard to put ditch lights on this unit, to update it for the 250th. With no luck.
It made sense to me. I did order one, won't see it for a few weeks. In other news... I have been lobbying them to put one of the new working FREDs on one of their stand along well cars. These would seem to be a perfect candidate. It covers stack trains, intermodal trains and even manifest or baretable trains. Myself, although I luv Cabooses, I have FREDed a few trains. I've got... A unit tank car train with the ring engineering end A trailer on a spine car with a battery inside and a light that hangs down above the coupler. (movable to other platforms) One of the Bachmann Railbox cars with a working FRED. Also have an assortment of the non-working Mac=Rail EOTs, They are supposed to be doing a working one (no news) Date: 09/03/26 19:02 Re: Rapido AT&SF CF7s have arrived! Author: TomG That's a great looking layout, thanks for the extra photos.
