Notes:
Note that this body shell is identical between each of the F-series models the company released. In actuality, the models were Phase IV F3 engines. Most of the models had a hump in the center. This was due to the shell being pulled from the die before it was fully cured.

Notes:
The model was sold as ready-to-run, but Omnicon used the NorthWest ShortLine drive system, the Wabash Valley F-unit styrene shell (which was a re-worked Enhorning shell), and a frame and brass truck sideframes from SouthWind Models. The gearing was set to match the American Models' FP7 engines of the time, so that these could run in a consist. Omnicon sold a separate super-detailing kit (part #1007S). These models could be used for building a late-F3 model or an early F7 one, with some extra effort by the modeler.
