Either way they look so much better with the close coupler. The perfect look..... |

Greg, can you elaborate on why you don't want to use TCS decoders?
Dave, thanks for the photos with the drawbar!!

Hi Dave, Don't think it will handle more than 195r. Here it is sitting on a section of 195r track.  And Greg i'm wondering what problems you had with TCS. Just want to know what to look for. All I know is the TCS AZL4 goes in like a dream with no mods at all. Might not have used a function that you are having trouble with. |

Has anyone tried putting a MTL F7 shell on the AZL F3?

Expect AZL to release a mix of F3s and F7s next year. Only the early F7s (phase 1) will be made, but it will have the choices of dynamic brake or not, correct number of headlights, freight or passenger pilot, steam generators and different airhorns. Sincerely, Hans (AZL)

Do you have any plans of offering them as a spare part? The other reason is I'm setting up a ABBA super chief and am short 1 close coupler. Same for me! I'd like to buy a second set of DRGW, and I was wondering how to get 3 close coupling! |

Ok, I fell for a second set of DRGW F3set  Rob, Hans, any chance to see the WP F3 ABB units in orange/silver scheme (number 801 802 803 that pulled the inaugural run of California Zephyr in 1949! Maybe I'm asking too much  ) Thank you! Charlie |

I cannot tell you the exact release plan of the F3s, simply because it may change. But I can tell you some of the roadnames that we have in the first run. Remember, we will release one F3 set a month. D&RGW, NYC, PRR, SP (Black Widow), UP, NP, GN, CN, SOU and B&O (these are not in release order except the D&RGW) Sincerely, Hans just wanted to share this snapshot with you all, zoom in ;-) Best, Sven  |

Hans:
I know AZL is geared to making these units in American Rail Lines, but how about doing some for us Canucks. Specifically the Canadian Pacific in both the burgandy and grey and the red with white and black chevrons. Oh, and lets not forget about the Canadian National in the original Green and Black with yellow nose and accents for passenger trains and the lighter shade of green and gold for the freight trains. It would also be nice to see some Via F3's and 7's but then you'd have to make passenger cars in Via colours of blue and yellow to go with them. That's probably too much to ask.
