The Seven Engine Itch Spreads to the Kings Port Division!

John R. of the New York Central Train Layout posted a blog entry about creating seven locomotive consists.  He had asked for other modelers to contribute photos of such lash ups but a technical glitch prevented them from being successfully published.  Since then fellow modelers Neal and John B. have posted the uncooperative photographs on their own blogs so we can see what John R. intended.

Here is John R's post starting it all:

John B.'s version:

The Kings Port Division follows suit and offers the photos of a GP38-2, F7A, FP7 seven unit consist that passed through Kings Port recently.  GP38-2 #8045 takes the lead as the only hood unit in a line of cab units.  Fortunate power matches on my DC layout made this fairly easy with the mix of three powered and four dummy locos.

followed by F7a #1802 and B unit 3489...

A short steel coil train on the upper level is pulled by only one locomotive as seven unit power rolls below!

This was a fun concept and the photos from all four blogs provided excellent images of lots of power!
