Why aren't more Lionel Cat Whisker F3 War Bonnet Models produced?

"Why call eBay sellers "cretins"?"

Of course, you guys are right.  It was unfair for me to generalize that way.  I buy from ebay as well including model train products.  Most of them are pretty honest and not looking to make a killing.

Sorry about that language.

I have the A-B-B-A set of 3rd Rail Cat Whikser FTs and they are an awesome set of locomotives down to the etched brass emblem on the nose to replicate the Bronze plate that was on the prototype locomotives. 

I don't know if the cat whisker colors changed between the FT's and later F units but the FTs are blue and a cream color not yellow.

Santa Fe F-units originally purchased for freight service were painted blue and yellow, there was nothing "warbonnet" about them.

@jd-train,

Sorry to get off topic here, but is that a wire fox terrier in your profile photo?

I have one as well. Sometimes she even "helps" me on the layout!
