Intermountain f-7s

With the new intermountain f-7s scheduled to come out in the next few months, I was wondering if anyone else had some pre-ordered.

 

Are there any in BN? I'd order some if there are, poor #724 is getting lonely...

 

Yes, I did !!! A-B-B-A for PC !!!

 

I need to buy 1 or 2 for a couple CB&Q shells I have that need mechs.

 

Do the IM F7's have the freight pilot or the passenger pilot? The Kato ones have the freight pilot and photos I have seen of the IM models seem to also have the freight pilot but some of the photos are somewhat obscure and IM could have made some with a passenger pilot. The Model Power FP7's had the passenger pilot as did the Kato E8's

 

IM tried to do the different pilots, see here for the freight pilots on the CBQ F3/F7 versions- very cool IMO but I dunno how accurate?

SP&S#750, they have an FP7 in BN, #726. I was hoping it would come in the "hockey stick" scheme, but maybe next time. I hope ol' #724 has a new friend soon !!!

 

I know, I will pick up #726 soon, as well as a pair of NP FP7's.

 

I'm getting an A-B set of SP in the black widow. Some sites are saying June but the owner of my local hobby shop said July.
