Scored Another Enhorning F Unit...

Nice score. I have never actually handled any Enhorning units; only read about them.

Thanks for sharing Mark!  Any chance you might post a couple pics of the drive system?

Are those factory paint jobs?

As far as I can tell, yes...

I’ve only seen ads that show undecorated  shells - looks like they were choosing the large roads (can factory painted  Pennsylvania and Santa Fe shells be lurking in the wild)?

Sorry I missed this; will do so in the near future.

In the meantime, if you search "Enhorning F9(?)" here you should be able to find the thread I did when I got the NYC unit; I  posted a couple of pictures of the drive and chassis...

PS: both are very smooth and quiet runners...

Here are a couple of photos of the underside:

I found I didn't have the right size "o rings" on hand, but I did find some elastic bands that work just fine...

According to the NASG website, I believe these are the only 2 road names the F9 came in.

I do have a couple of the "New River Models" F bodies; one is undecorated and the other is in the Monon scheme. They have the flush-type number boards, and of course, the infamous Enhorning "hump" is not there...I can show them if you're at all interested.

Monon? I’d like to see the shells you’ve mentioned…

Being a native Hoosier, I have a soft spot for Monon rolling stock - that’s a nice looking shell!

Turns out, I  misspoke: these were also offered in the ATSF passenger scheme...
