John Allen used to assign a Shay locomotive to yard duties at Great Divide just so the operators would be forced to switch freight cars slowly.

"Model Railroader Cyclopedia Volume 2 Diesel Locomotives shows F7B units with Steam Generators.

B&M F7As did not appear to have SG, but the B units did."


From http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=68370

Boston & Maine F7

"F-7’s 4265 - 4268 were purchased for freight service, but found their way into summer passenger service early in their careers. They were not built with steam generators, but some of the B units were retrofitted with steam generators in the 1960’s to work on the “Ambassador” and “Montrealer” - “Washingtonian”

Plus it has DCC and Sound, and runs amazingly.
