Prototype Description

The F-Unit is probably the most recognized diesel locomotive in North American history. It was found on railroads from East to West and North to South. Eastern railroads favored a "Single Headlight" version of the F3, while Western railroads favored a "Dual Headlight" version.
F3 locomotives were used in both freight and passenger service. For passenger service, it was necessary for the locomotives to have a Steam Generator to provide heat and electricity in the passenger cars. In later years, many F3 locomotives originally intended for passenger services were downgraded to freight duty
.

Model Features —
Kato USA is pleased to offer a new production of N-Scale F3 locomotives with a revised, DCC Friendly mechanism that will allow drop-in decoder installation.
This production features an all-new combination of details; it is the first time we will offer the F3 in a Dual Headlight version. Of course, each roadname will have appropriate Steam Generator detail according to each prototype railroad
.

Models will feature our smooth Kato mechanism and fully automatic magnetic knuckle couplers.
For the first time, the Kato F-Unit will include Lighted Number Boards!

EMD F-3 A Unit DHL Santa Fe P/N:176-1102 Road # 21C

Santa Fe
Delivered in 1946, Santa Fe's first F3 locomotives featured a silver-painted body with red "Warbonnet" over the cab. A-Units originally had three porthole windows and a single headlight. Santa Fe was quick to make changes; removed was the center porthole window and added was a second headlight — this is the version we have selected to produce. In later years, Santa Fe's F3 locomotives were rebuilt with new fans and side panels to duplicate the appearance of the newer F7 locomotives.

EMD F-3 A Unit DHL, S/G, Burlington Northern P/N:176-1201 Road # 710
Burlington Northern
The Burlington Northern was the result of a merger of several railroads including the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and Spokane Portland & Seattle. Upon completion of the merger, BN found itself depending on a fleet of inherited F-Units. Originally numbered in the 9700 series for passenger service, the BN F3's that remained on the roster were soon renumbered in the low 700 series. In the BN numbering scheme, A-units wore even numbers and B-units wore odds. The road numbers we have selected are former GN and SP&S locomotives.

EMD F-3 A Unit DHL Union Pacific P/N:176-1103 Road # 1455
Union Pacific

The "Route of the Streamliners," started accepting delivery of Electro-Motive F3 locomotives in 1947. Intended for passenger service, an early delivery was numbered in the 900 series and entered in UP's locomotive classification scheme as FP-3 locomotives. In the early 1950s, the 900 series locomotives were renumbered into the 1451 number series. Displaced by more powerful E8 locomotives, several F-Units received freight pilots as they continued performing dual roles for Union Pacific. Many F3s were ultimately rebuilt to F9 specifications.
