In ~1996, MTH Electric Trains made a Premier 3-rail O-gauge CB&Q F3 
ABA set #9960 ABC both with ProtoSounds 1 and with horn only.  One A 
unit was powered, the other A and B units were dummys.  Silver with 
the black nose stripes.  They later made a powered F3 B unit to go 
with the set.  

The 7 passenger cars were 18" (70') plated aluminum.
Only 3 domes, baggage, 1 flat coach, diner, and sleeper.  Although 
not a true representation to prototype, the plated aluminum very 
much looks like stainless steel.
