Just for the information of anyone who might want to build a Gp7u from a model Gp7 equipped with dynamic brakes, the Santa Fe had a lot of those too. The dynamics were disconnected and the grilles for the resistor banks were plated over. I think the dynamic brake fan was removed, and the hole covered with a plate.
Nice looking loco Reinhard! It is amazing that the colors match so well between the old Hallmark and the new P2k model! I have seen so many variations on the yellow color of the S.F. blue & yellow warbonnet freight scheme that I seldom see models from two different manufacturers that match.
