Repower Athearn H0 CF-7
#17
Maybe a little off topic but several years ago when RPP came out with the CF7 shells, I got a couple of them and also purchased the Overland Models power chassis and hand rail kits from Skokie Valley(???) for them. They came out pretty good and ran smooth as silk, although a bit on the fast side for my tastes. Sold both of them, but this thread has me wondering if I still had one of them how great putting a DCC decoder would make them run. Would have been plenty of room to add sound to them too. That Overland chassis had sprung trucks, a Buhler can motor and was really quiet.

I doubt that Overland still makes the chassis, but perhaps they still have a few laying around or maybe you could find one on Ebay or from some hobby shop that tends to have older stuff still laying around.
