Hey Mr. Bachman How about a set of F-3's in the ACL Purple paint scheme. I really like the classic F-3 look, and I'd love to see them in that paint scheme. I know you offer the F-7 in that scheme, but I do not really like these. And how about an NW-2 as well please in ACL purple!!Thanks!!
I second it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hat classic "purple" paint scheme is a classic.
Here is a pic of the Lionel version...I'd love to see Williams bring thm out. WBB locos are better in my opinion!!! Please make them!!!
Wouldn't be great if WBB would put out a poling of what we as potential buyers would like as far as road names go for all their models, and then take the top 10 request and produce them?
Steve
Steve,
I agree with you, let Bachmann do a survey to see what the potential buyers want!
Or do a pre-order to what what may sell.
Most companies that do model trains tend to model the top three or four railroads of all time. Pennsylvania had a few less-well known railroads that were started anywhere from 10 to 40 years before the Pennsy got started in 1867, and were larger players then the Pennsy was.

Maybe the Bach-man or 3rail could toss this around and comment.
Steve
I know that WBB have the F7's in ACL purple and the C&O in the high wave blue and yellow schemes, but that square nose just kills the appearance and takes away any resemblance to the proto types.
Steve
Square nose F-7 by WBB?Where?
In this day and time with the economy tittering on imploding, I think a lot of industries are not going to take BIG risks. With that said I like the idea of pre-orders. Send out e-mails post on
line or on this site and get an idea of who wants to commit.
I think ACl is a winner all around. In my travels regularly to Florida, Illinois, California, Michigan,
New York and Georgia I have Hobby Shops I like to visit when I travel. ACL seems to be a well talked about and popular rail line.
i personally am smitten with that purple colour. There are old timers I talk to that remember the ACL from New York to Ft Lauderdale. he rail station in Ft Lauderdale is still there(?) I think it's
the original.
i am always looking for a deal BUT if WBB decided to do a limited run on ACL and got the Purple right I would pay the retail asking price without hesitation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roger, If you place the F7's next to the F3's you'll see what I mean about the square nose on the F7's. Add that they use a rounded pilot, it really makes the nose stick out.
Steve
Junk the F7's! Stick with the 3's!
F-3's ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGAIN...
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD F3s in Brunswick Green w/ single stripe and also in Tuscan Red w/ five stripes.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!

These are opinions.Alco and FMs had square noses.
I have seen both the 3's and th 7's. The 3's do lhave a better looking body.
There were never any F3's in PRR 5 stripe tuscan. But considering there are no FP7 or 9's out there, the 3 will be as close as you can get within reason.
W/ did make a 5 stripe tuscan PA/PB once, which PRR DID have
Dominic, I don't think that it would be cost effective for any company to model every locomotive type out there, so yes you are right, an F3 in Pennsy livery would be fine!
Bob.
An F-3 in PRR Tuscan Red 5-stripe
WOW that would be hard to resist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed that the F-3s are better looking.
