Are the MTH Railking F3 and Williams F3 the same body shell?

M. TylerOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I saw the following pictures online of a MTH Railking F3 PS2 set 30-2944 from 2009 and of an original Williams (NOT by Bachmann) F3 set W-2240 with True Blast II sound. My eyes say they are the same body shell (above the chassis). Are my eyes correct? If they are, how did MTH end up with the Williams F3 body tooling in 2009 if Williams sold out to Bachmann in 2007? I don't know the date of the Williams model; when did True Blast II start appearing in Williams models? That might help date it.

MTH:

Williams:

Thanks,

Matt

P.S. - In real life, the Wabash RR actually had 116 F7 A-units and 9 (?) B-units, but no F3s!
