Re: (erielack) Re-numbering some Erie F3 units

[popectsw_@_msn.com]

Thanks Schuyler and Tony!
That's just what I was looking for and was surprised that there is a limited number to choose from (no wonder the photos are hard to find), so glad I asked.  Now for another pestering question.  since this was a 4 unit set, would both the A units have the same number and have smaller letters added to side sill to designate the a and the d units?

Looks like I will go for 709.

  Curt:

  Schuyler is correct on these F-3s (F-5).  They look like F-7s except for the dynamic brake which has the two screened slots rather than a fan.

  There was one other set of F-3s that the Erie obtained used, that being the ex-O&W, which was a "chicken wire" style, low fans, and the large angled number boards.  These became Erie 714A-D (numbered above the F-7 sets).  I don't know the date that these came to the Erie roster, but they did have the Erie "wings" scheme.  I believe that these units came to the Erie in lieu of storage payments for the O&W engines stored, seemingly forever, at Croxton after the O&W abandonment.
