What a great stash of extra B&O F-units you've got there! My own style is to have as many multiples of all good things as possible. One or two is never enough. I only have four N scale F-units so far......but three of them are A+B FT's.....so there's seven powered units in all. That's enough to have spare parts for awhile.....but I need many more!

Thanks. The 5 foreground A-units in the photo are 'pure' B&O (4500-series); the one partially hidden in the background is a former C&O unit repainted for B&O (7000-series).

As my signature text [and avatar] indicates, I want to return to B&O modeling of the 1970s era. The quest is taking a bit longer than originally planned due to financial setbacks (plus some of my own stupid decisions), but I'm gradually getting closer to my goal. I can't sell off any of my CSX stuff yet because I still need it for op sessions.

I have a blue bonnet F7, A/B/A HO units all three with tsunami sound. I swear I can smell diesel fumes.

Intermountain makes both of them.

Thanks! I plan on just using it as a display piece.
