Description

This selection is for the SINGLE F5A, Road #6505C

Broadway Limited will be producing these exclusively for Lowell Smith Signature Series for use in RailSmith production of our 1954 North Coast Limited.  The colors will match the NPRHA’s drift cards so these will go perfect with our 1954 North Coast Limited train set.    In this release, there are only TWO engines being produced, This A unit and a single (powered) B unit!     Be sure to check out that as well.

Originally in 1947 the NP’s F3’s were delivered in A-B-B sets. It was determined that configuration created difficulty in turning the sets, so more F cab units were purchased to replace the trailing B units, thus changing the engine sets to the A-B-A configuration. By the time this Loewy Two-Tone-Green paint was applied, most of the ‘A-B-A sets’ had been broken up to serve as needed over the system.

Although this engine was a late model F3, the NP referred to them as F-5’s. The NP was the only railroad to give such a designation.

 In this selection, road number 6505C, will come equipped with DCC and BLI’s Paragon 4 Sound. This is a deposit only with the balance due payable before delivery, which is expected to be Q4 2024.  Total cost should be close to $264.

Thank you for all that you do for the N Scale community. Your products by far, in my opinion, are the top of the line when it comes to N Scale Trains and I am always on the lookout for them when they come up for auction.

And as for your goal of 5 releases a year, I admire your ambition, but I won’t hold it against you if you fall short on that accomplishment.  I’m just thrilled you’re doing such an AWESOME job of releasing this amazing train, and hope you don’t stop until it’s all done!
