212LABC was delivered with the catwhisker nose emblem as were most of the 200 class F7's. This A-B-B-A set was made from Athearn's single headlight A-units and F7B's to represent the as-delivered appearance of this locomotive. 212 had an early radio installed and carried a wagon wheel antenna (left rear roof) almost from the time it was placed in service.

This five unit lashup of F7 freight units was made by the author using Athearn single headlight F7A and F7B models detailed and painted for the 200 class. Athearn's F7 most closely resembles units 202LABC through 258LABC. Removal of steam generator fittings from the roof is the most major modification required.
