Description
EMD's F-unit cab diesels (the F3, F7 and F9) replaced steam on passenger and freight trains across North America after the Second World War. Lead A units and cabless B units were often run together in matched sets, and some lasted into the Conrail era or in mining and short-line service.
Bowser's HO Executive Line EMD F-Units return with an improved design: headlight styles per prototype, lit number boards, reverse lights, white class lights, and road name and number-specific detailing including modified fuel tank skirting. This is the DCC/Sound version, equipped with an ESU LokSound 5 decoder and ESU Passive Radiator speaker technology.
