Addendum: I discovered that Lionel left off the road number, which is supposed to be right near the front of each side just below the broad white stripe.

Well here we are again, another F.E.F.  I noted that Fendermain posted a black 1989 E with a passenger consist in a prior post today.  Well I thought we might like to see the "mighty" 1689E up close, this one in gunmetal.  So here it is, offered from 1936-37, sold only in sets, the NYC Commodore Vanderbilt as interpreted by Lionel for its "Lionel Jr" line or eventually its 0-27 line.

Lionel 1689E

Happy Friday everyone...have a great weekend.

Hi everyone, it's F.E.F again !  The Leonardtown and Savannah has been thinking of pushing north from Leonardtown, (Md) via trackage rights with the B&O and thus gaining access into the City of Baltimore.  B&O would have a reciprocal agreement to gain access to southern Md and the western shore (of the Chesapeake).  So management is testing some of the B&O's new F3 diesels on the L&S trackage to see if it might work.

Here is the front view of that B&O F3 diesel.  Ready to move out towards Savannah.

Here is the side view, showing the full AA of the units.

For the collectors among us...these are Marx #62 lithographed sheet metal units, made 52-54; 58; 67  One 4 wheel powered truck in the leading A, trailing A has no power and "headlight" lens is red.

Hope everyone has a great (and safe) weekend

Don
