| Produced between 1953 and 1955, this Santa Fe Warbonnet F3 pair was the third such offering during the Post-War era. Each prototype EMD F3 A unit could boast 1,500 horsepower. The Santa Fe, at its peak roster size, contained 46 A units and 46 B units. They were very versatile, and were used for both freight and passenger service. Lionel's 2353 featured a few changes from the previous models of F3 diesels. This one has louvered roof vents instead of separately applied screens. Also, the GM logo is heat-stamped on (instead of being applied with a decal as it was on the 2333 and 2343 versions). The front grab handles were also removed. A big difference from the operators perspective was that the horn was moved into the dummy unit. This pair features two horizontally mounted Pullmor motors, three position electronic reverse unit, operating couplers at the head end of each unit, the aformentioned horn (requires a D cell battery for operation) and Magnetraction. There are a couple of variations in these units. The biggest variation revolves around a dimple in the roof of each unit behind the louvers. This was added to the 1954 and 1955 units to cover up a flaw in the body mold discovered in the initial production run. |
