<*>[Attachment(s) from scale S only included below] Hi Bill --
The three shells I started with had the F-3 dynamic brake slots in the forward part of the roof, but they also had the later model horizontal grills. I think the F-5 did not have the dynamic brake slots, but had the fan like the F-7s. Attached is an old photo of the F-3b as I remade it from a Wabash Valley shell, still lacking final detailing and paint after nearly 25 years of service, but it has the original dynamic brake slots with screens. Its mates became F-7s, and all three got the same "swiss cheese" treatment with new fans, grills, and appropriate details behind the grills (they are all different -- a fun research project!). Have fun!

Ads in “Model Railroader” magazine had this: “EMD F-3 A-Unit Loco Available Soon” (April, 1950), and “EMD F-7 A unit, ready to run, $37.50, EMD F-7 B unit, ready to run, $35.00” (October, 1950). -- Bill Roberts, Receiver San Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway Co. * * * Notice to travelers * * * Fishermen's Specials to Aransas Pass & Rockport $1.00 Round Trip Every Sunday Step from Train to Boat The train takes you direct to the famous fleets of Gulf fishing boats that are manned by seasoned crews and well-known skippers, who know to go without delay where the fish are biting.
