1. Delicate Details: As with most HO scale models, the F3A's delicate parts may be susceptible to damage if not carefully handled.

2. Limited Caboose Options: Athearn's Genesis F3A model comes without a built-in caboose, requiring you to purchase one separately, which can increment the overall cost.

3. Does not Include a DCC Decoder: The locomotive is not DCC (Digital Command Control) ready out of the box, meaning you would have to install a separate decoder if you intend to use DCC in your layout.

Details:

I doubt if they have been out of the box. I just don't need them.

My loss is your gain. I only ship to the USA as well. The f3a runs very well but I would recommend a lube job as it has been in storage for a couple of years.

Hi, this is a intermountain regal line f3a factory painted for nyc 1611. They have jade compatible couplets. It is done well. Also included is a Athearn caboose factory painted for nyc and someone put it together with jade couplets and put glass in the windows.
