What real engine steam or diesel has had the most number of 3 rail O scale models made of it from different companies? I'm not talking about quantities of production runs. My guess would the the N&W J shrouded version: Lionel 027 version, Lionel scale version, MTH, Williams, Others?
Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.
The Lionel F-3 type diesels have been in production in some form or another for over 50 years. Just about every year some O gauge electric train manufacture has offered it since the early fifties.

For diesels, it's got to be the F3. For steam, the Hudson in all it's various subtypes-- I'd say the J would be #2--

Agree F3s,,,lots of GPs as well. Steam would be Hudson types.

I agree with F-3 as K-line, Lionel, Williams, MTH, Rail-king(basicly a different division of mth) Weaver, Atlas O, Marx and bet there are more out there even. That have done it. For steam I think all of the above have also done a 4-4-2 atlantic ( I think thats what there called) so that would be my guess.
And would say GP-9's second in diesels

Don't forget one of the first to offer the F-3's, AMT, early fifties.
I don't remember the date, but "Classic Toy Trains" Magazine did an article of the F-3 diesel, as being the most produced.
