F7 Soo Line
by jtousign » Fri Mar 20, 2026 9:34 pm
Good news for Soo Line fans: I’ve found THE perfect F7 locomotive to repaint in the Soo Line “hockey stick” livery. It’s the JL F7 on the Wasatch route. This one has two front headlights and the two sand hatches in different colors. It took me no less than two weeks to repaint it—it’s that difficult—and I still have Unit B left, which will be just as challenging. But I’m making progress, and I want to thank Buzz456 for his invaluable help with the logos on the sides. As for the F3, I've given up on the project.

Looks nice. Did you give up because of the sand hatches? If so I have a idea.

Yes, that's the main reason, but now you've got me curious. What's this idea?

Were you working with the DTM F3? If you are I can send you the decal and the wording for the bin file.

As you know, I'm currently working on the Wasatch F7, but I've kept my work on the DTM F3, so yes, you can send me your proposal. Thanks!
