BLI has announced that they intend to release CB&Q F3 ABBA set 116ABCD
as an AB set and as additional A and B unit, hopefully by the end of the
year. They are taking preorders now. The problem with their plan is that
CB&Q road numbers 116-121 were the early Phase II versions of the F3
with raised fan shrouds and without Mars lights, and the BLI model has
Mars lights. I brought this error to their attention today. They have
three options, as I see it. They can ignore the prototype information
and issue another foobie, they can change the road number to 160 or 161,
or they can retool the shell without the Mars light. All three options
have drawbacks. A foobie may reduce sales, Walthers P2K has already
issued 160 ABC models, and retooling is expensive. I don’t know what
they will do, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect to ignore the
prototype error, so /caveat emptor/!
