Hello Members', I ordered a set of grabs to detail a EMD FT A unit, early edition. The set I received from P&D Hobby, doesn't seem to even remotely resemble any prototype on any line that I can find a photo of. Wondering if anyone is familiar with this set of grabs from P&D. This is set # 5791 K. Complete set for A unit FT Locomotives. I have done an exhaustive research with no results. Any Help would be appreciated'..  |

I haven't reached him. His voice mail id full. I did speak to Brian, today on the phone and was helpful.
Don't know what the set is modeled after, other than a F unit. Which F unit is the question.....However, after speaking to Brian, I am figuring out how to trim them and apply them. I'm using a photo from the CB &Q posted here on the O Gauge forum'...
Pat was at the Indy show this weekend which may explain his voicemail situation.
This set is for F3s-F9s. FTs are different.
I made them work on the FT'. I'll post a photo when I finish it up and get her weathered. I also ordered, the F unit Maintenance set. I also scratch built with brass wire door grabs for the tail end of the FT. They look as good as the P&D grabs in the kit'...
