F3 #64A [III]/ 109

[Joe Land]

Have any of you modeled F3A #64 [III] / 109 in it's unique configuration, sort of a cross between F3 and F7?
If so, I would like to see a photo of your work.

Show me a picture of her.

[Joe Land]

Don't have one in my laptop...Tomorrow when my grandsons are not using my PC...LOL...

[Rick Berg]

Found it
In my version I have it but the top fans are still high ones.

[Joe Land]

I have a couple of Tom Smart/Lloyd Kimble photos taken at distance on a freight train. She looks to have two high hood fans and two short hood fans, and only two portholes, F3 type chicken wire grills.

Joe,

Here's my model of 64A.  Unfortunately, I found out about the differing hood fans after I built the model!

Roger, but for your era, isn't the model with the high fans correct, I believe 64 came with those?
Ron, do you have any pictures of F3 #64 when it came onto the property? Which would have been F3 51A and later #101 because the original 64A was scrapped after Ash Grove?

F3 #64 also depends on which F3 of that number you are modeling.

But your F3's sure look good.....

[Roger Nulton]

You're right, Rick.  I found another pic of #64 in 1947, and it has 4 high fans. Phew: I guess the guy who was informing me didn't have all the info!  Thanks for that, and thanks for the compliment. 

It's too bad we have to compress the images: it loses some of the detail.

When I clicked on your last posting picture, it looks pretty detailed and good to me. I can see the F letter right up front on the side.

Note: After you click on a picture, hover your mouse over the picture, if it has a magnifying glass with a + sign, click on the picture to zoom in.

[Roger Nulton]

Yes Rick.  The second one is 10X as big as the first.  I'm trying to establish a range of what will work here.

Joe, several of us have the HO scale Intermountain model of either or both 62B and 64A.  IM modeled them accurately, with the single headlight, low fans, and 2 portholes.  Another manufacturer has also produced them in N-scale.  No photo of my 64A.  I do have a great color EMD builders photo of the two prototypes, but I haven't been able to figure out how to attach photos to this new-fangled Board-list yet.

Hi Tim,
Here's the one I was modeling after.  My model is a modified Overland F in S scale.

When built, 64A &62A the 1st had high fans. 64A & 62A the 2nd are shown new at EMD in 1948 with all low fans. I have seen a photo of 64A dated May, 1956 where 64A has two high fans and two low fans still with chicken wire grills. So far all the photos I have found of the unit renumbered 109 (which would be 1963 or later) show it with the chicken wire grills removed.

Here is #109 with chicken wire grills

MON 109:  Monon In Color, p.89, marked as sometime in the 60's:  MON 109 with no chicken wire between the 2 portholes, 1 high fan (forwardmost fan), 3 low fans behind the high one
