Too much time on my hands... I decided to do this Lionel PW F3 a favor and give it a make over as a B&O F unit in later blue dip scheme (just a dummy unit).
More of a paint test than anything else. It all looks good until you put it next to a scale F unit. The lack of detail and slightly smaller size become apparent then. And while I was at it, I figured that if model train manufacturers can sell you an F3 shell and call it an F7, so can I. I gave it an F7 number and painted the grilles to add to the illusion. 
I'm going to do this again with scale stuff. Even with its faults, I'm sure that this is the happiest this PW F3 has ever been!
