How many of you have these Lionel Scale F3's?

I didn’t have the B&O version but I got the Erie Lackawanna that came out around the same. It is strong and smooth puller.Hope you enjoy your B&O like I did my Erie Lackawanna’s

Sorry, NO Lionel Scale F3's since they were not correct for the PRR but I did purchase the Scale TMCC F7's in PRR:

Sam: I used to have an ABA set until a few years ago. A Forum member had a "Want" ad here on the Forum and we made a deal for him to purchase my set. I believe he's retired and lives in Maine if I recall correctly. I used them to haul freight exclusively.

I enjoyed this set and the paint decorations-Lionel did a good job on these.

I run them with the K-Line 21” cars. They look great together. I rather have the Lionel Columbian cars but just can’t find them.

I Have three scale Lionel F3 A units and three B units. Not all pictured. Also have the later run Lionel scale F7s, three A units and four B units some are powered and some are "break down" units with 5.0 engine sounds. Ran them with the 1st. run GGD SF Super Chief set. I haven't run these in years, should sell them.

Hey Sam,

As you know I have this ABA set but with the powered B-unit.  As I recall purchased these from local toy train shop the summer of 2005 not long after they became available.  This dealer (2.2-miles from house) was having a fantastic sale (saw it as a cash flow sale).  Stuff they had in stock over a year or so 50/60% off.  These new arrivals were 40% off.  Grew up with the B&O and rode the road over 1200-miles.  These were the best B&O cab units lionel ever made.

Since Lionel built these as freight units (pilot and road numbers)  picked up two sets of MTH 2-bay coal hoppers.  Also ordered Lionel's prototypically correct round top bay-window cab.

A couple of years ago sold off the hoppers since have several coal drags.  Can run them for a mixed freight.

But since the B&O did originally pull the Colombian with F3's passenger units will occasionally [but mostly with my MTH E6's (with power converted B-unit)]

pull my set of MTH respectively correct Columbian Pass Sets.

B & O was my absolute favorite when I was a kid. Now I have nary a one. Shameful.
