Project completed, well more or less

I bought this as a bit of a wreck to try my hand at refurbishing. Not great but on a 6 foot scale it's ok. Next stop eBay for this one

It's a bit out of place with the rest of my kit and my layout is a bit small to do it justice

Oh, I dunno, another one, and a B unit - you could be tempted

I once looked at the new one with a complete consist, now apart from mortgaging the house, it would be so long I could almost couple the front to the back

I hope you know you can not mix the old with the new. Newest F7 has all electronics in the A unit and the B unit just has a speaker. Decoder is Marklin.
Old F7 have sound units in the B unit, A unit has the only power pickups and speaker to be driven by the B unit.
