I’ve been looking for a decent set of these and finally came across a set of Unique Art F7 Rock Island AAs on E-bay at a very reasonable price. The finish is like new, lithography is precise and crystal clear and they run as good as they look. Patience pays off.😃😃

Often wish they would have made a set of passenger cars to go with the F units
Those are indeed sharp !
The passenger cars that UA made were shorty, four wheel heavyweights. Better suited to their steam locos than to these diesel beauties.
I tin-rodded a set of these locos some years back. Was real proud of myself for my elegant design, but they did not run as well and I hoped.
I've got a set of them. One thing I want to do is add a reverse unit on/off switch. Did this to a Marx 22 Santa Fe tinplate diesel and made it a better performer; no inadvertent reversing.
