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.
