Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:20 pmF3, really? That could easily be an F7 with different paint. Unless it's the grills on the side that make a difference. Still on of my favorite designs of passenger engines.

Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:40 pmF3 A & B units were purchased in 1949. A units #501-508, B units 551-554. FEC’s F3’s were late in production of this model and had the same outward appearance of the new F7 units with stainless steel grills. All units were retired by 1971.
Our Example of the F3 A and B are custom Athearn.

The F-3 went through several iterations while it was in production. Some had three port holes and some two, the later one's are the two holers I believe..

)

There actually was an F3 that got the 'unofficial' designation of F5. it had all the external looks of a Phase 1 F7,but still had the F3 prime movers and generators. The 'North Coast Limited' loco set I did was supposed to represent these.
