Product Information:
Broadway Limited Imports is excited to bring back one of the most iconic diesel locomotive families in American railroad history - the legendary EMD F3 in HO scale!
Few locomotives represent the transition from steam to diesel power quite like the EMD F-series. Introduced in the 1940s, these streamlined locomotives helped transform American railroading and quickly became a familiar sight on railroads across North America. Originally designed for freight service, the F-units proved to be incredibly versatile, handling everything from heavy freight trains to some of the most famous passenger trains of their era.
For this production run we are building several fan favorite road names and paint schemes, including Santa Fe Warbonnet, Central of New Jersey, CSX YN2, and SP&S Hourglass Scheme.
Our single A-units and single B-unit Stealth Series offering will consist of No-Sound / DCC-Ready models equipped with an MTC-21 socket to accept an after-market decoder and a speaker. A/B Stealth sets will consist of a DCC ready A unit and a "dummy" B unit (no MTC-21 board or speaker installed).All of our models have road-specific details.
