MTH Trains new Southern F-3 A Unit Diesel Engine (20-20769-1).
I would of had some more better picture to show. But had to send it back to MTH service. I want say what is wrong but you may be able to tell. It been a MTH service over a 4 week now. The engine runs and sound great!

Would you or can you articulate exactly what is WRONG?!

What I see is a bona fide Southern Passenger paint scheme for early EMD F3's. Albeit all the F3's I have seen pictures of in passenger dress had "small" number boards and a center band with three portholes with NO louvers ( that do distort the lettering in this case).

Please would you, can you enlighten us? I thought after GG1 4877 comments you would have.

And from what I see of the MTH catalog image it is a match except the catalog is 2D and the product is 3D. In #d those louvers get in the way of a smooth even lettering.

Or am I totally missing something?
