<p>Both the B&M and MEC ran odd consists. Ive seen video of a F7/RS3 on B&M and photos of F3AB, GP7, GP7, F3A consists on the MEC. The B&M orginally bought ABBA sets of FTs during WW2, with the intention of buying additional A units later to split them up. After the war EMD came out with the F2 so B&Ms order was changed to F2A units. They made the consists as planned F2A-FTB-FTA.</p> <p>Another consist that comes to mind was the ATSF CF7s (converted F7s?). They were home built from F7A units. There are photos of CF7s running with F7B units.</p>
