I'm culling the shelves again. I will be posting these unused, like new, mint Stewart undecorated HO F-unit models on HOYARDSALE, probably early next week. Since these are F3's and F7's, as the SLSF used, they might be of interest to frisco.org members prior to my posting them to the public. Plus, there is a unique feature to this offering - each Stewart chassis comes with two Stewart body shells - you can do either a F3 or a F7 with each, your choice! You get a F3 body shell and a F7 body shell, each undecorated, which each chassis! Here they are: - Stewart #9100, HO scale, undecorated, EMD F7A, Phase 1, powered (Kato drive!), single headlight. These Kato drives run like silk. Original price for this unit was was $69.95. Included as a bonus is a complete Stewart F3A undecorated body shell. This is the F3 phase (I forget which phase number it is) appropriate for SLSF 5002-5017, with the two portholes, four louvers, and high side grill. This extra body shell is included at no added cost - you pick which one you want to use, F7 or F3. Price to frisco.org for all noted above: $55.00 - Stewart #8205, HO scale, undecorated, EMD F3B, Phase 2, unpowered dummy chassis. Original price for this unit was was $45.00. Included as a bonus is a complete Stewart F7B undecorated body shell. This is the F7 phase (I forget which phase number it is) appropriate for the SLSF F7B's, with the three portholes, four louvers, and the EMD fabricated high side grill. This extra body shell is included at no added cost - you pick which one you want to use, F3 or F7. Price to frisco.org for all noted above: $20.00 Shipping will be via USPS Priority Mail, only actual cost charged to buyer. I will advise actual shipping cost based on buyer's ZipCode. Payment via PayPal or USPS money order preferred. These Stewart "Eff" units are very nicely done, and are a good, lower cost alternative to the Athearn Genesis or Intermountain F-unit models. The Kato drive is superb. Bear in mind, the Stewart body shells, like most HO F-units do, have dynamic brakes included which the Frisco units did not have. You can either ignore this, which I do, or remove them from the body shell. It is easy to remove the d/b from the F3 body shells, as the d/b is just a set of grills on the roof. It is a bit more involved for the F7's. If interested, please advise via e-mail to meteor910@mindspring.com, or via private message to "meteor910" on frisco.org. Thanks. Ken
