EMD F3A ACL 344 N Scale Diesel Locomotive with Sound (BLI9201)

An N-scale EMD F3A diesel locomotive in ACL 344 purple and silver, this Paragon4-equipped model recreates the classic late-1940s cab-unit look. It’s designed as a powered A-unit that can pair with unpowered B-units in an A-B setup or run solo on DC or DCC layouts, with prototypically accurate paint and road-numbering to bring a touch of history to the layout.

Powered by Paragon4 Sound and Control System with Rolling Thunder, the locomotive uses a dual-mode decoder for smooth DC and DCC operation and features all-wheel electrical pickup for steady performance. The ABS body with a die-cast chassis delivers solid weight and traction, while many separately applied details, prototypical lighting, and a Mars Light (where appropriate) enhance realism. It includes MicroTrains-compatible couplers and is designed for a 9-inch minimum radius, making it a natural centerpiece for an N-scale layout.
