Back in the early 60s Enhorning shipped a A-B, all powered, and painted RI dark
red. I also got a Dayton F-3 A unit. cast bronze, with a separate roof
casting. Later on I inherited an F-3 B, cast aluminum. The Dayton unit
weighed a ton, and was very hard metal, worse than steel. The En units did not
have the humpbacks when I got them, but developed the malady in the 70s. I
also have a A-B-A set of the Wabash Valley units never painted, but with some
brass parts attached. DJE

Enhorning Industries was the way to go when I came into the S gauge hobby in
the early 1960's.
A two unit powered A, dummy B, F-9 Diesel cost you $33.00. Enhorning
automatic, or Devore couplers were furnished with the model.
They offered 18 different road names for their units.
A friend in the hobby ordered two, and after a lot of pestering finally got
them, it was in Enhorning's end time.
Back in those days, "Steam" was the word and there were all kinds of Steam
Locomotive kits and offerings, also plenty of rolling stock kits of which I
still have both in boxes. Never will get to build them, but they are nice to
look at from time to time.
Never did order Enhorning, Frank (Titman) taught me to be a steamer! Ha!
