Golden Memories F3 Paint request

[stationmaster12]

Hey Mr. Bachman How about a set of F-3's in the ACL Purple paint scheme. I really like the classic F-3 look, and I'd love to see them in that paint scheme. I know you offer the F-7 in that scheme, but I do not really like these. And how about an NW-2 as well please in ACL purple!!Thanks!!

I second it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hat classic "purple" paint scheme is a classic.

Here is a pic of the Lionel version...I'd love to see Williams bring thm out. WBB locos are better in my opinion!!! Please make them!!!

Wouldn't be great if WBB would put out a poling of what we as potential buyers would like as far as road names go for all their models, and then take the top 10 request and produce them?

Steve,

I agree with you, let Bachmann do a survey to see what the potential buyers want!
Or do a pre-order to what what may sell.

Most companies that do model trains tend to model the top three or four railroads of all time. Pennsylvania had a few less-well known railroads that were started anywhere from 10 to 40 years before the Pennsy got started in 1867, and were larger players then the Pennsy was.

Maybe the Bach-man or 3rail could toss this around and comment.

I know that WBB have the F7's in ACL purple and the C&O in the high wave blue and yellow schemes, but that square nose just kills the appearance and takes away any resemblance to the proto types.

Square nose F-7 by WBB?Where?

In this day and time with the economy tittering on imploding, I think a lot of industries are not going to take BIG risks. With that said I like the idea of pre-orders. Send out e-mails post on
line or on this site and get an idea of who wants to commit.

I think ACl is a winner all around. In my travels regularly to Florida, Illinois, California, Michigan,
New York and Georgia I have Hobby Shops I like to visit when I travel. ACL seems to be a well talked about and popular rail line.

i personally am smitten with that purple colour. There are old timers I talk to that remember the ACL from New York to Ft Lauderdale. he rail station in Ft Lauderdale is still there(?) I think it's
the original.

i am always looking for a deal BUT if WBB decided to do a limited run on ACL and got the Purple right I would pay the retail asking price without hesitation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roger, If you place the F7's next to the F3's you'll see what I mean about the square nose on the F7's. Add that they use a rounded pilot, it really makes the nose stick out.

Junk the F7's!  Stick with the 3's!

[M1FredQ]
