F-3 A unit with Proto-Sound 3.0, Southern Pacific. Cab number: 6104. From 1942-1945, Electro Motive Division's F-unit was the only road freight diesel built in America. While the War Production Board limited competitors Alco and Baldwin to diesel switcher and steam locomotive production during World War II, EMD's 1,350 hp FT became a runaway best-seller. By war's end, Electro Motive had a lead over its competitors that would last until they closed their doors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith production restrictions lifted and the U.S. economy humming with pent-up demand, railroads clamored for new diesels to replace a steam fleet exhausted by wartime traffic. In July 1946, EMD introduced a new model F-unit, the F3. Horsepower was upgraded to 1,500 and lessons learned on the FT gave the F3 better reliability and lower maintenance. Under the hood throbbed an improved 567-series V-12 engine. With 567 inches of displacement per cylinder, this same engine would power virtually the entire first generation of EMD diesel locomotives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe F3 hit the market in an era when almost every boy in America wanted toy trains for Christmas, and F3 models quickly became a hot topic in letters to Santa. Such was the desire of railroads for publicity that model train manufacturer Lionel convinced the Santa Fe, the New York Central, and EMD to share the tooling costs for its top-of-the line F3. Even today, half a century later, the Santa Fe F-unit remains an icon of railroading to the American public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eM.T.H. is proud to offer the drama of this postwar locomotive in HO scale. The M.T.H. HO F-3 Diesel Sets include Proto-Sound 3.0 offering authentic EMD 567 prime mover sounds, first generation diesel horn and bell, crew station sounds, break sounds, and cab chatter. The F-3 features superb detailing that characterizes all M.T.H. HO diesels, with added-on details that include legible builder's plates, grab irons, multiple-unit hoses, rooftop lift rings, see-through rooftop fans, steam generator exhaust stack (for passenger versions), windshield wipers, and trucks with separately-applied spring hangers, brake cylinders, and air pipes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled LED headlights\u003cbr\u003eOperating MARS light\u003cbr\u003eIntricately detailed ABS bodies\u003cbr\u003e1:87 scale proportions\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels and axles\u003cbr\u003eOne scale operating Kadee coupler\u003cbr\u003eOne operating Kadee compatible remote controlled Proto-Coupler\u003cbr\u003eDetailed truck sides, pilots and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003ePowerful 12-volt 5-pole skew-wound precision flywheel equipped motor\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eLighted cab interior\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eLighted marker lights\u003cbr\u003eTwo engineer cab figures\u003cbr\u003eOn-board DCC receiver\u003cbr\u003eOperates on Code 70, 83, \u0026amp; 100 rail curves\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 7 x 1 7\/16 x 2 3\/8\u003cbr\u003eOperates on 18 radius curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system.
