EMD AEM-7

I agree with g_nash you are missing a set of horns on the opposite side. Both sets of horns are diagonal to each other. So if you have one on the right side the other is on the left side so from your first photo the first set is on the right side so you need another set on the opposite side on the left.

Fear not! They're both present and accounted for! Just the angle of the shot I took that hides them from view.



Now, for bonus points... who can tell me what the blank labels above these pipes read? Or rather, what they should read?

I see the bell.

Nice detail you put in the cables. Unfortunately I can't help on them.

Almost visible in this picture, but not quite enough! http://www.flickr.com/photos/avatar1/3517641474/sizes/o/in/photostream/

This pretty clearly shows them:

Looks like there's some wording above the black wires too, but I can't make it out.

I'm pretty good at reading diffcult text that are small and out of focus, but because the Locomotive is dirty its next to impossible to read. I will find a photo hopefully.



Wow this might be harder than I though. If anyone has MSTS and NALW AEM7 you can see what they put. Otherwise I think you can leave it for now.

From RS.com's Facebookpage:


"Tom & Phil in their new office"

I recommend you put some posters or pictures on the walls. Maybe AEM-7 pictures?

Unfortunately it's a listed building, so they're very stingy about what we can and can't do with the space. That's the price you pay for working on what closely resembles a film set 5 days a week.

I asked on trainorders about those hose labels and got nothing. I have an extreme close up of that area and it's still unreadable since it is such a small font.

One joke answer made me laugh, someone said it says "REGULAR" and "DECAF"

[arizonachris]

Hey, wait, these guys get dual monitors? Dagummit. Now I need a second monitor.

I vote for regular. Decaf just ain't right.

[SithMurcielago]

Looks like they are the only ones on duty. Glad you guys decided to join us and day looking for help. Some people on Facebook get very annoying and demanding.

At least no one here demands you do something. As far as the labels go it very hard to make out any sort of text. That is why I ask if someone has MSTS still running they can look at NALW's AEM7 to see what they have.

[styckx]

Id settle for the smoke and mirror label us repainters have to do on small font areas. Set the font size to 1 or 2, type in random ascii characters and waa-lah it will look just like all the photos. :)

Well, looks like the one across from Tom is open. Someone is already set up across from Phil.
