Model Railroading > Finally My F's show upDate: 11/30/12 15:10 Finally My F's show up Author: NSTopHat The only F units I personally am concerned about are the NS F units, as I model ultra modern NS. OMI has recently released these units in singles as well as full four unit sets. Only 32 sets were produced, according to the builders plates on the bottom of each unit. Each unit is modeled specific to the prototype, including the subtle differences in the roof top appliance arrangements. Models are DCC ready and will be getting Soundtrax decoders this weekend.
OMI, nice work, allot of hard work there! Image #1 - All four units Image #2 - Both A's Image #3 - Different view of all four units. NSTopHat Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/30/12 15:13 by NSTopHat. Date: 11/30/12 15:13 Re: Finnally My F's show Author: Sasquatch Beauties!

Peter M Murrieta, CA Date: 11/30/12 15:17 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: Poker2662 Nice looking models. Athearn made the 4271 and 4275, but the 4275 was not powered. The details were very minimal. I don't know how many models they produced. I have them stored in a box somewhere...

Date: 11/30/12 15:46 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: nikon1 Beautiful units. Now you just need OMI's Delaware dome lounge and OMI needs to get on the ball and produce the rest of NS's business car fleet.

I do have the Delaware to go with it, and am wanting OMI to do the rest of the fleet. Russ Date: 11/30/12 15:56 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: NSTopHat Super_C Wrote:

You just have to love an F unit. Rick Date: 11/30/12 16:28 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: lizzard_45 I love the HEP exhaust on the roof! Classy locos!!

Your one lucky modeler to have the OMI NS F units. Charlie MP 53 on the BNSF Topeka Sub Date: 11/30/12 18:14 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: NSTopHat nikon1 Wrote:

Your one lucky > modeler to have the OMI NS F units. > Charlie > MP 53 on the BNSF Topeka Sub Charlie; There are a couple of plastic models that can be used for a couple of the business cars as well. I don't have the info off the top of my head, as it was discussed on the N&WHS modelling forum. IIRC, Walthers makes a car that is specific to one car in the train and one of the MTH stand alone coaches works as well for another. I will see if I can dig that up this weekend.

Cheers, Harry Date: 11/30/12 18:36 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: GP35 Absolutely spectacular models. All the details are nice. Thanks for posting!
Date: 11/30/12 19:05 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: Notch16 Have to say those are spectacular models. And yes, the noses look spot-on.

Thanks so much on the recent NS freight car info that I needed. Eddie Date: 12/01/12 06:31 Re: Finally My F's show up Author: bigmc83 Beautiful models! I've had the opportunity of getting some recent OMI models as well (mostly GEs), and the DCC readiness makes them very easy to retrofit. I'm not sure if your units are wired similarly, however I have had to rewire the ditch light leads on the small circuit board in order to get them to operate off the proper function lead (I believe they hook both light leads to one function) Easy enough to fix, and everything is labeled nicely.
Enjoy! -Sean |
