- MTH 20-21594-1 - F-3 A Unit Diesel Engine "Lehigh Valley" #524 w/ PS3 (Hi-Rail Wheels) - Custom Run for MrMuffin'sTrains
- MTH 20-21594-3 - F-3 B Unit Diesel Engine "Lehigh Valley" #525 (Unpowered) - Custom Run for MrMuffin'sTrains
- MTH 20-21595-1 - F-3 A Unit Diesel Engine "Lehigh Valley" #526 w/ PS3 (Hi-Rail Wheels) - Custom Run for MrMuffin'sTrains
I think we will see more F3's announced in '22..... good suggestions?
How about F7's and FT's?

A Lackawanna (DL&W) F3 ABBA or even an AA would be a winner IMHO.

Yes. YES they will be painted the correct colors. (No painted Easter Eggs). Several prototypical inaccuracies of MTH’s 2006 release will be corrected too.

Any chance the NYO&W F-3's will have the nose railings like the Lionel ones do? That was a really neat detail applied to an unfortunate model.

Unfortunately no. That was a detail we helped convince Lionel to add because it was unique “road-specific” detail. The MTH tooling isn’t set up to add it.
That being said, the handrails were added later in life by the NYO&W railroad shops. They were not equipped with handrails as delivered to the NYO&W.

I was thinking the same thing, not sure the volume is there to produce them both ways.
If you want a F-3 diesel made, I suggest you talk to your locale dealer.

That's what we did! You should see what @JR Junction Train & Hobby has in store for us... well, not "in the store" but planned, anyway!
Stay tuned!
Thanks!
