- Well, I haven't seen the F7's, but a friend of mine bought one of their B23-7's
- in Conrail, and it runs pretty good. It was a little noisy, but a lot of new
- engines (including Athearn) are that way until broken it. If I remember right,
- I would say it rivals Athearn, but not as good as say, Stewert or Kato.
