Yup that's it, "FT 103: The Diesel That Revolutionized Railroading in America" by Mark I Video, "Railfan Video Classics" series. I have the 1989 VHS tape, but I imagine it was reissued on CD at some time. Runs 2 hours, really good info on FT-103 and all F units.
Interestingly, the restored "FT 103" set had only the A unit powered. The B unit had I think been used as a heater car or something, and didn't have an engine...so a real case of "dummy" B unit!

Thank Stix, I'll look into getting the DVD. Much appreciate your input here on this.
