I have several Lionel Postwar F3's, the 2355, 2353 with screens, and a 2353 with louvers. All of the powered unit chassis are marked 2333-20. Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks once again,
Bum

I believe the reason that the chassis' are like that is because all 3 of those engines have the same horizontal motor frame. It's easy to say that both the Santa Fe, including the 2353, and the Western Pacific, 2355, have almost identically painted frames as well. This might be another reason why those frames have identical part numbers.
Yes, all horizontal motor F3s have that same part number for the frame.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. The wealth of knowledge on here is amazing.

Bum,
Your 2353 and 2355 should have louvers, not screens. Are you sure they're not a 2343 and a
2345?
Bill
Yes. They are 2343 with screens, 2353 and 2355 with louvers. I mix these numbers up quite frequently.
thanks,
Bum
