[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by imacoy I am interested in the history of EMD's #291 (A-B-B-A) demonstrator set built in 1946. How long did these sets do their thing before being sold off? Which railroads tested them (by unit # preferably) and did 291 aver get split into A-B, A-B-A or A-B-B sets before sell-off? Many thanks. [/quote] The Order number, date, serial number, road, and road number is below for the orginal F3A BB A set built as the EMD demo units. Looks like a part of the set went to TPW. Thanks to EMD unofficial page data. They are listed as being built in July of 1945. I am not sure when the demo's hit the road.
