The cab roof is populated with antenna stand and roof air conditioner and yellow beacon.
-I did chop of the two middle exhaust stack of the 2619.
-Looks like the beacon on the cab roof of the 2563 is also not prototypical (I love it, do I have to remove it? Don't know yet).
-MU cable stands and MU hoses are missing. There are a couple of photos that show lots of missing MU hoses on CF-7. Only the pipe comes out of the front, makes a 90° turn down and ends without a hose connected. I think standard LAJ operation did run without CF-7 MU consists.
-Ditch lights will be added too. That starts again the problem to find matching ditch lights. I have got some SMD LED to try my first operating ditch lights but I need a housing for them. The CF-7 ditch lights look like cubes with a lense at the front.
