A quick note on the new Maxi-IV sets: this is the big release prime road name - TTX with the latest logo. These are probably the most common intermodal well cars seen in America today, combined with some of the latest container liveries. Every major railroad - CSX, NS, UP, BNSF, KCS, CP, CN - all run these cars. They run great, look fantastic, and are a must have for any modern layout.

Dang, those F7s look nice. Just switched out my F3s with the Alco PA to pull my passenger set. I really don’t need another set of engines…..

Yeah I got a couple sets of the D&RGW ALCO PAs and they perform really well and so much better than the F3s especially at very slow speed! As much as I like this particular Rio Grande livery I will probably pass on the F7s for now (still trying to recover from the ALCO set purchase including the SP units I got too). AZL really hit it out of the park with the ALCO PAs!!
