I purchased a Lionel F3 2356. The chassi is marked 2333-20 on the bottom.

Is that normal?

Thank you

Maybe you purchased a 2353? The 2356 is a Southern RR F3, but they all were built using that 2333-20 part for the chassis, even when it was modified for vertical motors the part number in the casting remained.

You are correct. It was the 2353 Santa Fe with a 2333-20 chassi. Kind of figured it out by looking at other on-line sellers. Also received positive feedback from others. Makes sense, chassis of Lionel 2333 carried over to newer models. I'm new to this hobby but can Lionel make things anymore confusing? They make one thing then 1,000 variations of the same thing. I should get a mulligan on this one. Thanks for your help. EdA

If you want confusing, look at catalog/cab numbers on prewar American Flyer.

Look st the number boards if they are the original they will have the number. 2333/2353/2363 are Santa Fa all using the same frame assembly.

You might want to add #2343 to your number-board list above......
