I noticed BNSF owned one too, although don't think it was ever used in service or repainted out of the Washington shortline's colours from which it was acquired.

Two were technically owned by the BNSF as the result of the purchase of the WCR in 1996, but were sold off to shortline spinoffs soon thereafter without being renumbered, repainted, or to the best of my knowledge, even being put into revenue service on the BNSF.

Both those 2 are in shortline service still today -- one in Nebraska one in Illinois.  Both were in Illinois for many years as the IR apparently leased/borrowed the other from the NKCR until some time recently.

Any word on these? Randy's page hasn't been updated since the initial announcement.

Last I heard from Randy on Trainboard, there was some issues with the etchings. Castings are all done, but the etchings are giving him fits. Hopefully something will break loose soon.

I'd have to say that Randys casting skills have improved quite a bit since his 44 Tonner, at least it looks that way from the photos. Kudos to him. I just started to doing some casting and its pretty fun.

I have my 1996 GP7/GP9 non-dynamic here waiting for Randy to finish up on the CF7 kit.  ;D
