SANTA FE MTH-RAILKING BLACK BONNET F-3 A-A CAB# 2333 EXCLUSIVE LIMITED SPECIAL RUN AT WWW.PATSTRAINS.COM

If I were to order a set, I'd want both powered, with a B unit that didn't have to have motors, but did have smoke and sounds.  Will there also be matching passenger cars?  As much as I love the look of these, and want a set, I wouldn't pull the trigger unless I was getting an A-B-A set with at least 7-8 matching passenger cars.

Yes we are going to do a set of matching Passenger cars and freight cars. We are going to produce these engines as follows. Your choice below.

A-A Both Powered

A-A one Powered and one Dummy

B-unit Non Powered

Matching Bay Window caboose

We are going to follow up these engines with a set of matching Box cars and then the Passenger cars.

Thanks

Noooo, We do not want to kill you, we need to keep you around to buy more trains.

Thanks

I'm with Terry.  I find the yellow and blue Santa Fe cool and this one takes the cake. I don't "need" these but need is a relevant thing as I sure do want the passenger set!  How soon on a cost idea?

ahhhhhhhhh ,if it were only standard gauge,,,,,,,dream on son,,,dream on

Oh, no.  You're killing me too.  I've always loved the SF F-3's and have five of them.  I also just added two more levels with scratch built bridges and improvised ramps that I painted in the SF color scheme.  BTW, my four main lines are all 35' long through three narrow rooms, but, I still wouldn't need both A units powered.

Now, how are we supposed to resist these gorgeous trains???   Matching boxcars and passenger cars?  Go PatsTrains.  

Thanks, and keep us posted.  Can't wait.

I prefer two powered A units. I rarely run ABA consists so the "B" unit is expendable.

Great choice for a set and you are killing me too. Just when I thought I was caught up on train purchases...

Not sure I would be in for a set as I currently have no passenger trains and was not planning on having any for at least a couple more years. Layout is just not yet ready for them and there is quite a lot left to go on it before it will be ready. However, if I was getting a set, I think I would prefer the A-B-A set with both A units powered. Smoke in the dummy B unit would also be really nice to have.

The matching freight and passenger car sets are the frosting on the cake and another excellent choice to round out this offering, as is the caboose. I won't commit to an order, but this set is very tempting and I will be watching.

You have my attention.  Especially interested in passenger cars.  What is the cost?

I'm in for A powered-A non-powered.   I'll run freight behind these.   Plus the caboose!!

Depending on the cost I am interested in a power/power A.

Okay, you'll probably get me.  I've wanted a set with matching passenger cars since I saw K-Line's.  But try to keep the price down on them as I'll end up paying for TMCC upgrades on them too.

My wife is going to ground me, I have too many expensive hobbies...

Don't need this pressure. I think I would like power nonpower A's

Would I like to have them, yes.

However knowing the price usually helps me decide on purchases.

I have no more room and didn't want to spend anymore money for awhile but this is hard to resist.  Powered & non-powered for me.  Great job!

Pat - looks awesome.  I would be tempted by the entire set as well...A-B-A and passenger cars.  Great idea.  Now how about something more like the K-Line American Freedom Train???  The new Lionel is tempting but doesn't look the same.
