Features Specific Details found on Santa Fe 16 Class F3 Locomotives: * Leslie 5-Chime Airhorn * Inertial Air Filter * «Can» Style Radio Antenna * «Stainless» Air Grilles Delivered in 1946, Santa Fe’s class 16 F3 A-B-B-A sets became the signature diesel of the postwar passenger fleet. Resplendent in the gleaming silver, red and yellow «Warbonnet» scheme, the distinctive cab units captured the spirit of tomorrow with the romance of the old west. Leading such flagship trains as the «Super Chief», «Chief» and more, the fleet consisted of three orders, with the last arriving in 1949. For nearly 30 years, they would soldier on in passenger service until old age caught up and retirements began. Some ended their careers in freight service, but a few were rebuilt as CF7 road switchers. Now with Walthers exclusive metal finish that simulates the look of real stainless steel, you can accurately model the most famous paint scheme in railroad history! With Santa Fe specific details, and all the features that make PROTO 2000 locos the first choice for your passenger fleet, they’re a brilliant addition to any roster or collection. * Factory-Installed Sound & DCC Sound can be operated with standard DC power pack as well as DCC controllers. Sound features include: Diesel Engine, Horn, Bell, Squealing Brakes, Doppler Effect, Air Let Off (in neutral), Headlight, and Trailer which mutes whistle and bell for double heading. HISTORY: The EMD F3 is a 1,500-horsepower (1,100 kW) B-B freight- and passenger-hauling carbody diesel locomotive produced between July 1945 and February 1949 by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division. Final assembly was at GM-EMD’s La Grange, Illinois plant. A total of 1,111 cab-equipped lead A units and 696 cabless booster B units were built. The F3 was the third model in GM-EMD’s highly successful F-unit series of cab unit diesel locomotives, and it was the second most produced of the series. The F3 essentially differed from the EMD F2 in that it used the “new” D12 generator to produce more power and from the later EMD F7 in electrical equipment. Some late-model F3’s had the same D27 traction motors, along with the heavier-duty electrical cables, used in the F7, and were referred to as model F5 by EMD’s Engineering Department. Engine and powertrain The F3 used a 16-cylinder 567B series diesel engine developing 1,500 hp (1.1 MW) at 800 rpm. The 567 was designed specifically for railroad locomotives, a mechanically scavenged, or «blown» 2 stroke 45 degree V type with 567 cu in (9.29 L) displacement per cylinder, for a total of 9,072 cu in (148.66 L). A D.C. generator powered four traction motors, two on each Blomberg B truck. EMD has built all of its major components since 1939. Identification As built, the only way to distinguish between the F2 and F3 was the nose number panels on the A units, which were small on the F2 and large on the F3 and subsequent locomotives. However, these could and were often altered by the railroad. Few F2s were built, however. Early versions of the F3 had the «chicken wire» grilles along the top edge of the carbody. Later production featured a distinctive fabricated stainless steel grille. All F-units introduced after the FT have twin exhaust stacks and four electrically powered radiator fans arranged close together atop their roofs, unlike the FT’s four stacks and separated belt driven pairs of fans. The unit is highly detailed LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: Full cab interior – Wire grab irons – Coupler cut levers – See-through cab windows – Flexible rubber trainline hose – Flexible rubber MU hoses – Windshield wipers – Lift rings – Blomberg-B trucks – Sander lines – Directional constant lighting – Walkway Tread – Fine scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance – Headlight brightness remains constant – Separately applied photo-etched metal and injection molded detail parts – Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes – Accurately-painted and –printed paint schemes – McHenry® scale knuckle couplers – Kadee® compatible – Fully-assembled and ready-to-run – Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more – Genesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain – All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth & quiet operation – All-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow – Wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track – Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power – Packaging securely holds model for safe storage – Replacement parts available – Minimum radius: 18″ NEW FEATURES: Operating ditch lights (if equipped) – Operating ground lights – Newly designed motor is more powerful and quieter than before – DCC & sound models ABOUT THE F3 The identification of locomotive «phases» is a creation of railfans. EMD used no such identification, and instead only kept track of the marketing name (e.g. F2, F3, F7, etc.) and individual locomotives’ build (serial) numbers. During the production cycle of a particular model, as design and production techniques improved, all builders would invariably make minor changes. To better keep track of noticeable, and not so noticeable differences in appearance that a locomotive model would acquire during the course of its production run, locomotive historians began documenting any subtle or minor changes made to a particular diesel locomotive model as «phases», and referring to these as such. This practice has proved very popular over the years among diesel locomotive modelers looking to create the most «true to life» models possible. Despite not being official designations, phase descriptions are quite useful to the diesel spotter and record keeper, but sometimes tricky as many of the changes described are mostly cosmetic and easily altered features of a locomotive – roof fans, body panels, grilles, etc. that could be – and often were – updated or swapped interchangeably during production runs. The following are normally identified as F3 phases: Phase I Built from July 1945. High, flat-topped 36 in (914 mm) roof fans. Top third body panel had «chicken wire» in openings only. Short rear vent panel. Center-third body panel with three equally-spaced porthole windows and D17 traction motors. As-built Phase I F3 units are identical to the F2, they differ only in electrical equipment and numberboard size. Three highly modified locomotives survive from this series, rebuilt as FP10s, all for Metro-North Railroad. Phase II (early) Built from February 1947. Top third body panel now had full-length «chicken wire». Long rear vent panel. Center third body panel now had two portholes; area between covered with chicken wire, over 4 smaller rectangular openings. Phase II (late) Built from December 1947. Roof radiator fans change to low, pancake fans. Phase III Built from March 1948. (the former Bangor and Aroostook Railroad’s F3’s: 44 and 46, were rebuilt in preservation to resemble Phase 2 F3s) Center third body panel now has no chicken wire between the portholes; the four rectangular openings now have louvres. Phase IV Built from August 1948. Chicken wire upper-third panel is replaced with full-length horizontal stainless steel grille. «F5» The first «F5A» EMDX demonstrator #59 was built in March 1948. Production of the «F5» started in August 1948 through the end of F3 production in February 1949. The difference between the «F5» and the F3 were the D27 traction motors with heavier-duty cables and higher capacity traction motor blowers fitted. Nearly all previously built F3’s received the same upgrades by 1955. A total of 381 F5As and 238 F5Bs were produced. The note in the January 1, 1959 EMD Service Department Locomotive Reference Data states, «All F5 locomotives were delivered as F3 units.» All EMD DC traction motors are backwards compatible so as the better motors became available the D37, D47, D57, D67 and D77 all could be found on an F unit. » These have been highly sought after Units Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE SHIPPING: We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.
