Model Railroading > This will have you seeing red.

I painted these 2 Rapido FA2's a few months ago 311A and 311C, and just now put the numbers on. The 311A was the only FA2 the Katy owned (others were type FA1 and the only reason they had this single FA2 was that the original 311A FA1 wrecked and Alco had moved on to the FA2 in their catalog)  but these are great models and the 311A needed a Rapido mate, so I purchased and painted two of these.

The F3's are Proto 1000 that I painted a dozen or so years past.  One of the F3's has old soundtrax LC decoder installed and one Rapido FA2 has LokSound decoder.  Quite a difference in the sound in these 12+ years !
