I just picked up my Intermountain CPR FP7 and F7B. They run very
well and the QSI sound system is very impressive even on straight
DC.
Overall they are quite nice but if you are a bit of a rivet counter
like me, then you will see many problems......
I know the feeling, my biggest beef was the lack of undecorated models. I
had to buy my 2 painted for CP just so I can strip them down and repaint
them in action red! (a bath in a mix of 99% and 71% isopropyl alcohol takes
the paint right off)
I was a little ticked at the back up light too, from what I can see if you
carve off the original, you have to fab up some ribs to go where the light
was, I would have prefered a model with no backup light.
The QSI sound is OK, but the Soundtraxx 1st generation decoder sounds more
like a non turbo EMD 567.
