PandD F3s

A few construction photos of my first P&D F3 kits. I started the first unit in 2001 and the one you see here in 2002.

A&O F3 #221 at night. The forward headlight beam is produced by four custom-colored 3mm white LEDs. Today I would use Richmond Controls Sunny White LEDs, but they were not available when I built this unit.<br />
<br />
There are 14 LEDs in this locomotive.<br />
<br />
Update: Richmond Controls has discontinued the 3mm sunny and golden white LEDs.
