Reply to "Lionel MPC F3's?"

In 1979 Lionel MPC released upgraded versions of the F-3AAs in Pennsylvania livery  with the Brunswick green 8952, powered, and 8953 dummy. The port holes, front grab irons and dual motors from the early 1950s PW days returned.

 

The upper part of the bodies still had louvers rather than screens and there was no Magne-Traction, but the new units were so much nicer than the older MPC units that I bought both the green and later tuscan versions. Lionel never did PRR F-3s in the PW era, which is one of the reasons I still own them.
