Yes Butch,I know the CNJ units were 7's.I'm sure Athearn will be looking to add the HEP blister to their gp7 line...only makes sense.

On another note...Accurail has announced 50'steel box cars with 8' superior doors,both riveted and welded sides.The riveted units will have high ladders and roof walks while the welded units will have low ladders and no roof walks.Looks like a great starting point for some XMLc and XMLd's....TOM,need some 50ft banner decals added to the decal line...PLEASE.
They also state that the doors will be available separately.Good news for use on 40ft projects.

rdg1187prr OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 197 Thank you received: 38	Chris and T-1 Nut just an FYI. Actually the CNJ did own 2 GP9's # 1531 and 1532. They were rebuilt units that replaced the 2 GP7's (1526 and 1532) that ran off the open drawbridge at Newark Bay. John Caples
