Description

This selection is for the SINGLE F5A, Road #6505C – SOUND Paragon 4 

Broadway Limited is 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.

 Delivery, is expected to be Q4 2024.  Total cost should be close to $264.

You know I’m always looking forward to the next release and its arrival with great anticipation. I treasure my Lowell Smith Signature collection.

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.

So glad our big Alaska trip happened when it did.  It was the trip of a lifetime for me and Nina, thank you so much for organizing it.

I got my new Santa Fe business cars, they are superb and worth the wait ten times over.

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.

What a trip! We had a great time- exceeded our expectations by a mile. The Silver Lariat was simply stunning. A gem on the rails. The scenery and weather were perfect. The delays were not an issue for us at all. All just a good days work on the railroad! Thank you for all the…
