Ho Scale Santa Fe F9?

---

I'm going to guess Bowser.  AFAIK, only Bowser and Genesis make F9A's for the higher end market.  IIRC, Tyco, LIkeLike and Bachmann have made an F9A as well, but more toy-like.

Bowser does not have see thru stainless steel grills like the model shown,,,,,and I wasnt aware that Aftearn Genesis ever did F9s.

Brass???  Doesn't look like there's window glazing in the front windshields (at least from the angle of the photo...).

Athearn Genesis stock number G22081 (non-sound A-B set with road numbers 286L and 286A)

Intermountain also makes F9's, I didn't see Santa Fe in their current line up.

I thought Bowser had their executive line which were upgraded from and more details vs the old Stewart F's.

Athearn Genesis did F9's - I've got the Rio Grande Zephyr F9's from Athearn Genesis.

I thought some latter built F7’s had the larger dynamic brake fans same as the F9

Yes, the phase 2 F7's had 48" dynamic brake fans.  The spotting difference between the late F7's and F9's is that the front portal on the sides has split louvers on both sides.  Internally the F7 had 1500 horse power and the F9 had 1750 horse power.
