FEC E7

Maybe this will inspire someone to build a little of the Florida East Coast. It would be a great route.

E7 or E8 ?
Title and captions diverge.

S&%$ happens. It's a E7 and you know it. What's your point?

I'm still working on the FEC. Finishing Hialeah Yard, but it's been though with some deaths in the family and what not. But towards the end of summer/beginning of fall, I'll have some more progress screenshots in the WIP thread.

I can't tell an E7 from an E8 without doing research.
I'm interested because I have the E7 Britkits payware but not the E8.

Sorry for your loses. I look forward to progress. If you need any beta testing holler.

E7 and E8 are easily distinguishable by their number boards (E7 = box; E8 = typically inset), window shape (E7 = Rectangular; E8 = round), roof top exhaust (E7 = four over each prime mover; E8 = two in center) and fan arrangement (E7 = vents on either side of prime movers; E8 = round standardized EMD fan shrouds, part of which are covered by box-like winterization hatches). There are dozens of other queues, but those are the ones that can be spotted from just a glance.

Thanks. I was never good at train spotting.
On a good day I can tell an F unit from a Geep.

Also, I can't tell modern units apart. Dash-9, ES44, SD70, it's all the same loco to me.

You're not alone. I'm the same way as you Chacal. Its hard for me to tell the difference.
