I recently bought an Athearn SF #2600 CF7. It’s the early type with the round cab roof and three windows. It’s a really good running nice looking model but needs some additional detail. I’m not very knowledgeable about diesels or diesel models. I don’t even know exactly what some diesel parts are called or what they are for. Can anyone tell me what detail parts are available that could be used for a CF7? It appears that the few missing details for the CF7 are on the front (MU hoses and maybe somthing else), the tanks and the roof. Other than that some sand lines that can be made from wire should be about it. Any help or suggestions on what to add would be great.
Thanks, Bruce
There are quite a few CF7 photos over on http://www.rr-fallenflags.org.

Details I’d add are:
Windshield wipers
MU hoses
Sun visors
a rotary beacon warning light
air conditioner
cab roof antenna
I’m sure you could go nuts detailing this engine, I just picked a few details that would be noticed
