Beautiful units, the Santa Fe war bonnet F units are my all time favorite diesel locomotives, I wasn't aware that there were other colors besides the red. This yellow one looks really cool, and complements good with red bonnet version the blue one is also stunning. Great video Eric.

I'm convinced that Santa Fe had a policy of never using the same paint scheme twice. They went through almost a dozen different schemes on the F units alone, most of them variations of the warbonnet.

ATSF had a lot of extra F3/7 AB set in the Warbonnet after the passenger service declined. They were regeared for freight hauling along with the various Blue and Yellow bonnet paint. Awesome layout.
@MilwaukeeF40C
Жыл бұрын
The blue bonnets were former passenger units sent to freight service, with the blue being more like the original freight Fs. However, some of the yellow bonnets were freight only former passenger units as well and the models with black trucks are more like those. I think the simplified paint coloring was partly a cost saving measure with only two instead of three colors in the yellow bonnet part and in some cases a single color front logo.
@thomasjohnlederer603
Жыл бұрын
I am not a Santa Fe expert, but my understanding is the following: Red or War Bonnett - original passenger paint scheme/livery; Yellow Bonnett - Amtrack wanted a more visible engine so yellow was used instead of red; Blue Bonnett - with the demise of passenger service, F units were re-geared for freight and painted bule: 1. Blue was the freight color 2. Only the red area was painted blue not the whole engine to save $$$

Hey Eric. Great review. I bought three of the ABBA from this catalog. They are gorgeous. But I had a problem with paint blemishes on the roofs on two of the sets on all the ABBA units. I was wondering if you or others had this problem. Lionel offered no solution since they are BTO.

That is about $2500 for the two double engine sets. Even at some discount it’s unreasonable for a toy. Wow! It sure has a lot of electronic features. I often wondered why the “talking” as that is between engineer and tower. Nobody else hears that. It’s not like a horn or bell. Just as a point of interest the post war F3’s run very well on 027 curves for smaller layouts. Red, blue or yellow definitely a classic scheme that everybody recognizes.

Looks to me that Santa Fe initially painted all the trucks silver and later worn off as well as kept very dirty. If you look closely in all the photos on google, you will see silver or what's left of the silver paint. That's just my take..But what awesome looking F units.

Great video and nice looking engine Eric. I want to like diesels( my wallet probably doesn't want me too), but I have yet to come across one that I just have to have. The paint schemes do make them stand out nicely and add interest to a layout. For now, Im steam only, but someday adding a Diesel could happen. The War bonnet red is a staple in the train community and could be a good first add for anyone looking to get into the hobby that is interested in Diesels.
