HO EMD F3A Locomotive LV 512 Cornell Red Black Stripes with Paragon4 (BLI8172)

HO-scale EMD F3A locomotive in LV 512 Cornell Red with black stripes, equipped with Paragon4 sound. This model reproduces the classic F3A profile for HO layouts, suitable for both freight and passenger service, with prototypically accurate road numbers and paint schemes. It’s offered as powered A-units with Paragon4 sound paired with unpowered B-units in an A-B set, or as standalone A or B units with full Paragon4 DC/DCC/Sound, letting you build authentic, era-appropriate consists.

Detailing emphasizes prototypical realism, including multiple pilot options, nose doors with and without headlights, varied horn selections, and accurate hatch and panel placements such as water fill, sand fill, dynamic brake hatch, filter panels, cooling fans, and exhaust hatches. Additional authenticity comes from winterization and steam generator styling, ladder rests and grab irons, eyebrow grabs, and four MU doors on the front, all designed to deliver convincing operation and lighting on an HO layout when paired with Paragon4 sound.
