Lionel No. 2343 Santa Fe twin diesels are accurate replicas of General Motors’ EMD F3. Used
for both passenger and freight service, the F3 diesels were a common site on many railroads.
The magnificent Lionel F3 A-A set includes one powered and one non-powered unit. The
powered F3 is equipped with two Pullmor motors, Magne-Traction, and features a wealth of
realistic detail. These A-A diesel engines are built to run on either “O” or “O27” track.
LIONEL “MAGNE-TRACTION”
This locomotive is equipped with “Magne-Traction” which means that its driving wheels are
magnetized by powerful Alnico magnets inserted in the driving axles in order to grip the track
and enable the locomotive to pull heavier loads and climb steeper grades without slipping
on the track. Be careful not to let pins, paperclips, carpet tacks or other small iron objects
come in contact with the locomotive or they will be attracted to the wheels, gears, or axles
and interfere with the action of the locomotive. NOTE: “Magne-Traction” is not effective on
aluminum, brass or other non-magnetic rails. The locomotive also includes two traction tires,
which will improve traction on both magnetic and non-magnetic rails.
