@Rusty Traque posted:The "traditional" F3's from the very beginning have all had issues with the placement of the Warbonnet outline. What amazes me is how it seems to be different with each reissue. Given the traditional units are not true scale models, I'm willing to make allowances. Lionel's scale F3's have the correct placement.
The prototype Santa Fe F3's and F7's had red airhorns.
What distracts my eye is the seam for the nose top and main body seems to have become more noticeable over the years.

I have posted a picture of the F-3 A-unit from the Lionel Postwar Celebration Texas Special Set (6-38100). You will note that the seam on the nose of the A-unit that Rusty mentions was very noticeable when the Texas Special sets were made back in the late '90s.
