i bought 3 atsf f3’s used by a resturant. good and used one of the a units dead motor wore out after 14 hours a day 7 days a week. so i said well we are going to take out the motors and use it as a dummy and buy new motors later. wow its the best deal i have ever made and we got new motors haven’t installed them yet. if it ain’t broke don’t fix it the 3 diesels working great with the 1 dummy. pulling 13 box cars 2 hoppers 1 piggy 1 caboose no problems i just loved that era of f3’s my day’s of growing up. just wish they were still around oh well sorry about rambling on.
happy rail roading
