Reply to "Now comes the F3 from 3rd Rail"

As I mentioned earlier, I'm looking for an ABA set with at least two powered units and all with sound.  To meet my sound requirement will probably require buying three powered units which is OK.

There is no current production PRR F3 set.  The last one done by Lionel was in 2005 and with only one TMCC/powered A unit.  MTH did a PS-2 ABA in 2006 with two powered units but only the lead A with sound.  Atlas did not do a PRR with their F3 releases.  It seems like the market could use a PRR set with modern electronics.

As Jonathan stated, there is a lot of F3 variants and I'm not sure if the PRR's variants matched up with other roads.  What I know I would buy is an F3 ABA set with full chicken wire at top third panel to distinguish it from an F7.  Not knowing GGD's strategy, the Phase III seems to be a good choice because they may be able to use a modified F7 tooling with the four horizontal louvers and low pan top of the F7 body.  A Phase II (late) with low pan tops but replacing the louvers with chicken wire might also be doable, and would be preferred by me.  The paint scheme needs to be as delivered as shown below.
