wjstix posted:I can't remember the name (or find it online) but there's a video/DVD that came out a while back on restoring the FT 103 A-B set (actually an original 103 A unit with an early production Southern B unit) by GM. It's a couple of hours long, and has old film of the original FT 103 A-B+B-A set, and a great history of all the F units. I have it somewhere, if I can dig it out I'll post more about it.
That would be the Mark I video, much of which was shot at EMD in preparation for the big 1989 open house for the 50th anniversary of the FT demonstrator. A little known fact, the 4 section "set" (the tern 'unit' had yet to be used in 1938/1939), was originally numbered 1030 & 1031. The very first builder photos show 1030 and 1031 in the number boards. Nobody knows why the Sales Dept. had the number changed to "103" but the rest is history.
