MartyE posted:breezinup posted:Nope. These are not the scale versions. These were from the Postwar scale series. As the catalog states, they are based on the Postwar decor versions of the F-3s. They are not the real scale versions like the previous TMCC scale ones Lionel did.
They are decorated like Lionel's Postwar versions, with the same abbreviated features; for example, they don't have proper MARS lights, they don't have the proper yellow paint striping that goes up over the top of the hood to the windshield, etc.
Unfortunately they are the only SF F3s Lionel has done in Legacy. You take what you can get sometimes.
Yes, sometimes. I decided to wait, though. Hard to believe, but it's been 9 years since the last Santa Fe scale Fs were offered (F-7s cataloged in 2007). The Warbonnets are Lionel icons, so it would seem they can't space them too far apart. It's reasonable to think Legacy Warbonnets should be along any time now.
