You could find a hobby shop that still has k-line products left over, and some could still have them f3s.

 

 

Just a thought,

I would try www.choochooauctions.com or Ma & Pa Junction.

Stay away from ebay!!!   There are too many scalper stories about ebay anymore.

It was a limited edition piece, so I think there was one store that has it.

well, there was a store in PA that had Erie f-3 from K-line, that were going to be used in the Febuary Fair Days, but then the Days were canceled, and I guess some how the store got a hold of them( I think in the past few months)

YES as stated above JUST TRAINS.

I got mine from BARRYs TRAINS in ELIZABETHTOWN, PA.  He told me that there were only 75 of these F3s made he got 31 sets and JUSTTRAINS got the rest.  He was selling the ABA F3s plus the 5 car Heaveyweights,15 inch cars all for $422 out the door.  I got the 30 set.  Runs great.

JIM yes I know. He has a summer sale and he sends out a letter to all his regular costumers and usually has a " thank you for patronizing my store" type of sale. He usually can get lots of Blow out sale items, the guy is a mover in merchandise.
