F unit air intake grilles

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Does anyone offer air intake grilles for F units (HO scale)?

Wouldn’t those be contingent on which F-unit you have? IIRC, F2 & F3 grilles are quite different from F7s, which are continuous. That said, I believe Detail Associates makes those grilles.

Here’s also a link to a Dec '22 thread discussion on the same topic:

F7 or F9 grille. Does anyone have them in stock?

Do a community and then Google search on “Farr-Air” for specific information.

Maybe Cannon and Company might have what you need:

There’s a difference. Early F7’s had horizontal slits, late F7’s and F9’s had veritcal slits
