EMD F3A C&O 8016 Restored Diesel Locomotive N Scale (BLI9203)

Chesapeake & Ohio EMD F3A diesel locomotive, road number 8016, in the classic blue, gray, and yellow N-scale livery. This restored model captures the look and feel of the postwar F3A era and is designed for realistic operation on model railroad layouts.

Powered by Paragon4 Sound and Control with a dual‑mode DC/DCC decoder for smooth slow‑speed operation, it features all‑wheel pickup, a die‑cast chassis for authentic weight and traction, and prototypically accurate detailing and lighting. Expect many separately applied details, prototypical horn and grab irons, plus MicroTrains‑compatible couplers, and compatibility with Code 55/70/80 track and a 9‑inch minimum radius. Available as a powered A‑unit with sound in an A‑B set or as standalone A or B units with Paragon4 DC/DCC/Sound, this model emphasizes authentic appearance and reliable performance on modern layouts, including features like water fill and sand fill hatches and a winterization hatch where prototypically appropriate.
