EMD F3B ACL 343B DCC-Ready Diesel Locomotive Purple and Silver (BLI9221)

The EMD F3B is a DCC-ready, no-sound diesel locomotive replicating the historic ACL 343B model, finished in a striking purple and silver color scheme. This locomotive is part of a series built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division from 1945 to 1949. The F3B model stands out as the second most produced in the EMD F-unit series, making it a significant piece of American railroading history. EMD constructed over 1,100 A-units and almost 700 B-units of this versatile locomotive, which was used extensively in both freight and passenger services.

The Broadway Limited model features road-specific details that reflect the original, including a prototypical pilot, an operating Mars light, and accurate roof antenna placements. Attention to detail continues with multiple MU door options and various accurate body details specific to the prototype. Built with contemporary technology, the model includes an integral dual-mode decoder which ensures superb slow-speed operation in both DC and DCC formats.
