Reply to "Need Help Identifying MTH Premier Rio Grande Diesel Set"

@Ron045 posted:

@Training Wheels you are absolutely correct.  I asked the seller questions yesterday on ebay.

Hello,
Have some questions please. Add says original box. However the picture of this box and the set of diesels do not match. Are these F3's or F7's? Are these from 2001 or 2002? Are they ProtoSound or ProtoSound 2? Are they Premier or are they RailKing?
Those diesels do not represent what MTH identifies as 20-2272-1. The F units for that number are dark green or black. Could they perhaps be 20-2349-1? Lastly, Can you provide me the numbers on the number boards for each diesel unit?
Thanks!

This was his reply...

They are F3s we just added more pictures.

These are most definitely RK engines as @Training Wheels  has identified.

I am glad the seller finally produced a more detailed image of what is being advertised that definitely identifies these as one version of the RailKing units sold in the early 2000's. However, they still have not updated the headline to remove the words Premier and FT, the incorrect product number or the image of the units with the Premier box in the background.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but they have at least one other auction for Santa Fe units that looks and reads similar to this one - misleading headline with incorrect information and an image of what are obviously RailKing units posed in front of a Premier box.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Andrew
