Just picked up the powered F at my LHS to match the dummy I had for my Rio Grande streamliner project...

I have an identical A dummy and a 1950's all plastic B unit dummy (unassembled) to match. The shade of gold is different between them. Larry

Nice pair, Mike! I bought an eBay auction for some Tyco cars a few months back that came with a few of these. Two of the shells were pretty trashed (one had been crammed onto a LifeLike drive), but the third shell is in perfect shape and came with a dummy Athearn frame. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but it is a nice paint scheme .
I hope you'll be posting pictures of your "streamliner project"

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
