Now available for sale is a clean set of Santa Fe F3 AA diesels from the mid-1950's. These Santa Fe locomotives are decorated with the popular war-bonnet Santa Fe paint scheme most modelers and collectors love to see on their layout or on a display case. Each of these units have a nice and clean exterior shell with crisp side lettering and graphics, however the trailer unit has some minor discoloration on one side -- most likely due to battery damage. The power unit is in nicer condition and probably graded closer to a 7 while the trailer unit has some minor battery damage to the location where the battery is placed inside the frame. Lastly, both units have original postwar side porthole lens.
Finally, each locomotive has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and operate perfectly. The e-unit cycles correctly, the horn is functional, the interior lights do illuminate, the couplers open and close properly and both sets of magne-traction trucks are clean and complete. The exterior colors, decals, stripping and lettering are clean, complete and vibrant and there's certainly no rust nor oxidation on either locomotive. Overall, a very nice set of operator grade diesels.
