to increase our rooster fleet for our city limits street running, i have to re-biult/re-work several locos, my "private" company is the morristown&erie in the first years.
That means, a RS-1, RS-36 Nalco, C424 to rebuilt (Atlas did a good paint job, aber most details are wrong, all locos will get sound, "open", see through cabs with interior, the missin details....lost of work, those 3 engines are built paralell....amongst an walthers sperry rail car, fittet with wireless camera, built in accumulator, connectors to load from outside, without removing shell or roof.
This engine got new pick up`s , the original are rubbish (spring wire arround the axles).
It will get led`s for ligthing, rotary beacons......as all locos will get cab ligthing, led for the other lights (the problem in former times was, that an AEM-7 with original bulbs after 9 hour melt dorn the bulb housings, other old proto engines had problems on the roof, so all our locos in our running fleet will have or get led`s)

I LOVE that layout. I wish i were over there right now, You guy shave exactly the sort of thing i model. Love the former Reading GP40-2 and former L&HR C420! I think i saw a Patched EL SW in there to!

If i had to do another patch, i'd probably go for a Lehigh Valley unit either a GP18 or a GP38AC, and a CNJ GP7 with the red paint. Also thinking about a patched Penn Central GP for SD40. there is to many to do!

as for your AEM7 problem, i've never had that issue, and i've had most of my AEM7 fleet sit for hours at a time for shows.
