ATSF Warbonnet F7A (No. 347C)

Description
This is a remake of a classic ATSF commerical, in which this Warbonnet re-skin appears.

The real-life 347C (and the matching B unit '347B) are preserved at the California State Railroad Museum. They arrived their in 1986, following retirement by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Fast forward to today, and I believe they are the only surviving ex-Santa Fe F7A and F7B locomotives. The vast majority of F7A's on the Santa Fe were rebuilt as hood units and reclassified as CF7.

Sadly 347C has not yet run under her own power in preservation, but it's better than being scrapped if you ask me.

Thanks for making this. This looks pretty good to add to my ATSF collection. I'm glad you have both the ATSF Warbonnet F7A and F7B units available to operate matched up together.

Also thanks for the little bit of history on these locomotives. It was interesting stuff to read.

Cheers
