NP ‘1954 NCL’ F5A -stealth-Deposit Only
$50.00
Planned for Q4 2024
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 in the BLI ‘Stealth’ version which allows you to add your own decoder or run in Analog ‘DC’ mode. 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 $214.
