Ready-to-Run Mark posted:The Atlas Northern Pacific F3's that were offered thru JD's Trains were done in the black and gold freight scheme, not the passenger colors of the North Coast Limited. Kerrigan indicated he had Atlas F3's in the NCL passenger scheme, which would be either the so-called Pine Tree scheme or the Raymond Lowey two-tone green scheme. I believe MTH has done F-units in both of those schemes but I was not aware that Atlas had ever done F's in either passenger livery.

I think Mark's right. Kerrigan may be mistaken. The freight version, a special issue for JD's Trains, is the only Atlas NP F unit I've ever heard of. A photo is below. I had a set several years ago but sold it. The yellow color was not as rich as shown in the picture. Although the prototypical shade was a bit on the dull side, the Atlas version didn't quite make the cut for me. In addition to MTH, Lionel and K-Line have done the NCL scheme in the Lowey NCL scheme, and MTH alone has done the older scheme as well, as Mark mentions.
