This is MTH 81-2006-3 F-3 A Unit Non-Pwrd Xmas. F-3 A unit fiesel engine (non-powered), Christmas. Cab number: 1224. The EMD F-unit, built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors, was the diesel that did it – vanquished the steam engine from American railroads.
In 1939-40, a quartet of F-units barnstormed across 35 states, logging 83,764 miles on 20 railroads and proving once and for all that diesels were the wave of the future.
