Let's see your ALCO FA's

Only one here.

I also have the same MTH set as CPR.

My Lionel TMCC PRR FA ABA:

A Lionel set of beautiful Canadian Pacific FA-2’s with an FB-2 for good measure.

And a Long Island FA Power Cab Car.

Lionel postwar FA2  AA units. 

Williams Lehigh Valley FA1.

Lionel Postwar Texas Special AA's #210 and #211

MTH CNR FA1.

An older shot with Fortescue J. Gi-raffe reminding everyone, "Safety First!"

Postwar Union Pacific FA's.  These were literally dropped off at my house by my pest control man. He got them from a client whose father passed away and didn't want them  (where have we heard that before). I spent a week cleaning the shells of mold and dirt, but the locomotives ran perfectly from the start- even the horn worked.

3rd Rail is trying to produce Alco FA's.  Not enough pre-orders to get it started. 

However I have an older set of Weaver FAs in PRR that were three railed from 2 rail that I am now looking to change back to 2 rail.  No photos though - yet.

Line Wine Train FAs.

Sorry, first time to try and add photo - did not mean to duplicate nor include the video I thought I had deleted,

My one and only set, Lionel LTI era.

Nice!!  @Ahitpy  whose are the Missouri Pacific in your fourth photo (the ones with the full apron and the solid fuel tank?)

Recently reorganized my storage.

I have considered that Paul. My patio is right out that window and about 3" higher than the sill.

And "dummy" and "LIRR" are synonymous

If they would list a PRR as delivered FA-1/FB-1 pair I would order it.

To be fair the FA project is on the back burner.  GP7 / 9s are hot right now with them going into production as are the Amfleet / Viewliner cars.  There are a few others too that I'm not involved in.   I'd like a set in PRR too.   The Weaver tooling is a bit dated.

These are old Weaver FA's originally painted GN.  They were 3R chain drives and none of them worked so I made them into unpowered units and repainted them into SL-SF late era schemes.  The striped FB2 5305 has sold, and 5209 and 5304 will be for sale at the 2021Grapevine train show.  The models are FA2-FB2's...Frisco only had FA-FB1's.  I liked them for the fact that they had fixed pilots, but I do not like them enough to keep them.

Here are a couple acquired a few years ago from the original owner who grew up in Chicago. The UP set was one of only three sets that weren't boxed and had some 'play wear'. Poor fella wasn't permitted to run them very often as most others were EX - to LN!

Is the Erie a custom paint?

No, Lou.
It is an early factory painted Erie MTH PS2/3v set I bought taking a chance. I was elated when it turned out to be a 3v system as opposed to the 5v system that the MTH site showed as being the case. 

Set# MTH 20-2456-1

Maybe I missed them, but I don't see any Williams or WbB scale FA-1s.  Would be good to compare them to other manufacturers FA-2s.  Let's see them.

The forth pic in my list is a Williams set.

Thank you.  Is that Williams a scale version?  It looks like their traditional FA-2.

I love Alcos, EMDs, FMs, Steam, switchers, runabou...Oh, yeah, this about Alcos. I love 'em all. I've resurrected more than a few and given them some spit 'n polish... 

Here's a Williams WM version.

Charlie,

Thanks.  I did not know they had see through screens.  Nice looking engine.

Krieglok - Who was the manufacturer of your NYC FA?  (It looks great)  MTH?

Thanks.

Thanks.

That one is a Lionel TMCC set. I picked it up last year. It is an AA set so I bought two B units to with the set...

Krieglok - Thanks for clarifying that.  Actually, I bought the Canadian National FPA set that was released simultaneously with your NYC set.  So am I correct in assuming the two 'B' units you bought were both non-powered because I don't recall any powered Bs being released for these FAs?  

Does anyone have the handsome Bachman Freight Santa Fe set?  These appear to be SO much nicer than the Lionel PW 'el-cheapo' models and later LCCA reissues. These have die cast frames like the original 2023 PW variations
