If the SW7's turn out anything like the SW1's, they're going to look fantastic. Thank you for doing these.

Really like the touch of soot on the stacks.
What we need now are China Red locos to run on a main or branch e.g. GP9, GP20, GP30 or GP40 (-2). The only China Red I've found in the game is the U25B and U25C - if there are others please point the way.

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.

Which one do you want first? My deck is clear at this moment.

I'd forgotten Michaels's SD7 which comes in CB&Q China Red and Gray as well as the Black/Gray livery. The SD9 is also in both liveries. They will be useful.

Quite right, I forgot that also. I can blame my age so I will.
