The F3 A-A twin diesels are Postwar-era replicas of General Motors’ 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 four traction
tires, which will improve traction on both magnetic and non-magnetic rails.
