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. In the end, I finished Unit B without too much trouble compared to Unit A. You’ll also notice a new Boxcar in Soo Line colors to add a bit of variety. I also adjusted the color scheme of the locomotives for greater realism, based on what I found online. An F3 version will also be released later.. I want to thank Buzz456 for his invaluable help with the logos on the sides.

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!
