New and interesting F3 diesels now available from Bowser
Author: superfleet

Bowser is offering many new HO F3 diesels, some of which I have never seen available such as the Union Pacific and Rock Island F3A cabs with the large snowplows on the nose.  I have never bought anything made by Bowser and wonder how these F units stack up to today's standards, does anyone have an opinion they wish to share?  Thanks,

Dan

Just old Stewart units
Great drive trains and wonder detail

They do not use etched stainless grills so they get a mark off for that.    Also the old Stewart F nose has nice obvious mold part lines on it.   All in all they make a nice loco but it is simply not quite as nice as a Genesis or WAL/PRO unit.
