HO scale F unit drawbars??
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 22, 2004 12:12 PM
Is there any company that makes drawbars for Genesis F units?
Or are the drawbars even noticable enough that leaving the factory installed couplers on is what I might as well do?

Thanks,
Christopher

F-3 and F-7 units didn't have drawbars, they had couplers between the units. The only F units that had drawbars were some FTA-B sets.

Got any of the Stewart FT's?

I know where there's an A-B set, NIB, undecorated for sale. (ASSuming they're still there.)
