Williams by Bachmann (WBB) E7 with Passenger Cars

Here is video of my Williams by Bachmann E7 A. It is pulling four WBB 72' streamlined passenger cars, two MTH Heavyweights, a Weaver Express car, and a K-Line Express boxcar.

I customized this a unit to have a fixed pilot with removable pilot door and a scale-like coupler. With the new pilot, I can still run this locomotive on O-36 curves, but I run on my O-60 loop. The new pilot is a P&D Hobby F3 pilot that I cut down, painted and attached to the locomotive. In order for the front trucks to clear the new pilot and coupler, I had to grind down the original WBB coupler mount.

Reason for using an F3 pilot on this E7 is the real PM/C&O #95 had this type.

That's cool. Could you possibly do a video of your 1225 with the Pere Marquette tender?

@tpasman94 Sure. I'll be bringing it out again soon. When I do, I will shoot a video.

Thanks.

How many club cars do you have and from what years?

[sunfiregts]

@tpasman94 I purchased the offerings for 2009 and 2010.  The Copper Range cars are a very nice set. I purchased all three Pere Marquette auto frame cars. PM is one of my three favorite roads.

@sunfiregts That's cool. Do you have a Pere Marquette tender for your 1225 engine?

[sunfiregts]

@tpasman94 Absolutely! I ordered the PM tender first.

You should have been working for Lionel and MTH so they could have incorporated this feature into their F3's E7's and E8's. Because this is realism.

Cool.
