TrainBud,

I did not say the FA project was cancelled.  I will take the time to look later, but one of the folks associated with Sunset stated the project was on the back burner.

As far as ordering a Pennsy FA-1, the order form does not say whether you are ordering a FA-1 or FA-2.  It just says FA.

When you go to the announcement page, it lists the roads they plan to make for the FA-1 and FA-2.  For the Pennsy, they plan to make a FA-2 which makes sense since the Penny had 12 FA-2 ABA sets.  However, they don't have a Pennsy FA-1 listed.  The way the order form is set up you don't know if you are ordering a FA-1 or FA-2.

I originally thought Sunset was not making a Pennsy FA-1 because of the small number board on the real Pennsy's FA-1, similar to the ones on their F3s.  That would have made producing a Pennsy FA-1 more expensive.  However, after a search on the web it looks like a lot of roads had the small number board.  Maybe Sunset didn't think they would sell enough Pennsy FA-1s in competition with the Pennsy FA-2 since the Pennsy only had 4 ABBA sets.

Ah you guy are just splitting detail diffs between Penn FA1&2s. OK !!! Got It.
So EVERYONE else - Step Up !!! 😳

Ive three “A”s reserved so far. I Want to see these done !!!!!  👍👍👍

Well Yes. Its the details THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. The 3 rail community is loaded with scale PRR FA-2 from Lionel, MTH and Weaver models.

The scale FA-1 are only done by Williams and are the only game in town with many details missed and/or incorrect.
