GN Empire Builder/3rdRail Question: F3's acceptable as motive power?

JPaunickaOGR Forum Member

Have a question for the knowledgeable collective at large:

Would F3's be acceptable to use as the motive power for the Great Northern Empire Builder?

The background on this is that I have a set of GGD Empire Builder cars; I got them when they were first released (last year?).
Howevere, what I failed to also do around that same time was to order a set of 3rdRail F7's to accommodate/complete the consist.

I see now that 3rdRail is now offering F3's available for pre-order and the Empire Builder paint scheme is one being offered.
I'm not a devout rivet counter, but I do try and strive for some respectable level of accuracy.
I recognize that the differences between F3's and F7's do exist, but generally are subtle.

So would I be completely out of line ordering a set of F3s?
Thanks!
