Anyone else get there ATLAS F-3’s today? I got my B&O F-3B unit and it was well worth the wait. It’s a beauty.

I'm on board for the video as well!!
I have an older release powered A-B and a dummy B and they have served me extremely well.
Enjoy them!
Tell Bill and the guys I say hi.

Time to turn off the NCAA B-ball and go to bed. You played hard today and deserve a rest.
I can’t explain it... but I have a taste for a LARGE taco.
Close game with Ohio St vs Iowa St.Then off to bed
GOOD NITE.
Good nite
I didn't preorder any, but might look for some that were preordered by someone else who died while waiting for them to arrive.
I wish they would have made them in conventional, as they are rather pricey.

What do you mean by “conventional”?
Are these any different than the ones that came out a few years back?
I got one in 2016 off Ebay for $190!!! Found a broken wire going to one of the trucks, easy fix.
It wasn't in the RR I wanted but for that price I couldn't resist.

AFTER:
Fine running engine. This one still has 3-rail wheels but runs on 2-rail code 148 track, using BPRC vice TMCC.

Conventional operation, without the added expense of TMCC. Many other Atlas engines are sold this way, but apparently not the F3s.

I believe Atlas O Master Line engines, like the F3, only come with TMCC. You can get many Trainman Line engines with or without TMCC.
