Didn't see any mention of this, but it looks like we're getting another run of Kato F7s in UP, SP, B&O and MILW due sometime in July and August. Return of the single headlight with freight pilot and a new dual headlight with passenger pilot.

Wow, Kato knows about B&O? It's only been 30 years since they produced anything with B&O on it.

May buy a B&O one just to encourage them to make more single headlight models.

For the B&O? The description says B&O F7 A/B, and the numbers seem to be correct. 4503 is a F7A, 5493 is a F7B. But no, the B units don't have single headlights...

Curious that they are making only a single A-B set for each roadname, instead of a pair of A-B sets - or at least an A-B set, plus a second A unit.

Well Damn, that Milwaukee scheme has been one of my favorites since my dad custom painted one back in the 80's.  I don't know if I'm going to pass on them.

Can a Milwaukee Road modeler give me a timeline on grey vs black roof?

Milwaukee started the orange maroon in 1950.

But what about just the lightning scheme.  Some models have grey roofs, some have black.

The FT's, F-3s,  F-7s were delivered in the lightning bolt scheme. It appears they all have black roofs or at least did at one time.

So where does the Kato release fit in?  Atlas did the grey on their O scale release too.
