Scott...I have 4 of the new Blueline E7s. First thing is that they only come 
as DC units with sound. No dual mode DCC decoders as the earlier Es did. As 
far as I am concerned these units are a big dissapointment. The sound is no 
more like an EMD 567 than the earlier units. The Paragon F3s have the best 
prime mover sound. Back to the Blueline E7s...the plating is good, but here 
is the big mistake. They PAINTED the top panels below the roof silver. They 
admit they knew this but ran them anyway. The second big mess up is the 
rooftop radiators. They are covered with CHICKEN WIRE. I cannot believe they 
did this after doind previous runs with the proper radiators. And as usual 
the wrong pilot casting was used again. I don't know how many times I called 
them and told them on previuus runs of all the E units this. At least they 
got the wright one on the F3s. All in all, a BIG dissapointment, And I 
posted a message to that opinion on BLI's H O forum.
