Swannee River Railroad Company 

THE F UNIT 

This all around great looking locomotive is now standard practice at the Swannee River Railroad Co! The F Unit has many details including the low profile passenger pilot and buffer that doubles as a coupler pocket.  The pilot plate also features rivet details and chrome trim. Other features include layered cab side windows and port holes for a 3-D look, lighted number boards, grab irons, stainless steel and aluminum trim is also included. The body is laser cut from rigid 12G Steel. This thick steel body gives the locomotive a solid appearance not to mention the added weight for plenty of traction. This is one great looking locomotive! Photos do not do justice to all the small details! The Swannee River F Unit is powered by a 1028cc Kohler 3 cylinder overhead cam liquid cooled diesel engine. This proven, high performance diesel engine utilizes indirect injection that delivers smooth power and reduced combustion noise. The automotive overhead camshaft design also reduces mechanical drivetrain noise. This sturdy engine is coupled to a commercial grade piston pump with oil cooler and Danfoss motors. Heavy Duty Trucks with 1.5" thick side frames are standard as well.  This is by far the most cost efficient grand scale locomotive available market. Locomotives are built with brand new parts and painted to in up to 3 colors in a standard pattern (specialty patterns, paint colors or brands can be discussed for an additional cost).
