Title: williams f3 replacement motors and dummy upgrade kits
Post by: psm6519 on January 10, 2020, 11:33:37 AM
Williams/Bachmann  online parts store is out of motors for f3 engines.  Does anyone know if these are out of production, or if they will restock these motors in the near future?  Also, does anyone know where to find williams f3 dummy upgrade kits?  Are the kits produced anymore?

Hi psm6519,

       671 here.

Here is your best bet ... Trainland currently has (3) Road name F-3's on sale. Southern, Boston Maine and Erie.
They are priced at $199.99 for each A-A set...(powered and dummy pair).
You can salvage the powered A unit for your needs. ( Chassis, trucks, motors, sound board...etc. You may only need to swap the plastic shell.
You will be left with two dummy units. Good static "yard display"
F-3 upgrade kits are nonexistent. They used to sell for approx. $140 - $150.00.
For $199.99 you get spare parts.

                 It is your choice...Hope this helps
