If 3rd Rail is going to do only the Phase IV F3, I may have to pass. I would want to run an ABA set, but the Pennsy did not buy any Phase IV B units. The one picture I've seen with a Phase IV F3A (stainless steel grill) had a Phase II (Late) or Phase III B unit with the chicken wire grill. I guess I could say the B-unit is an F5 (or Phase V) since externally they are the same as the Phase IV. I personally would have preferred an earlier Phase with the chicken wire so it would not look so much like an F7.

Also, the picture of the Santa Fe F3s on 3rd Rail's reservation page, aren't those Phase III engines? They still have the chicken wire in the top panel plus the four louvers between the two portholes.
