Bachmann FT

This FT diesel locomotive model reproduces General Motors’ early F-unit prototype. This was the second plastic FT A-unit on the HO market. The first came from American, Train & Track around 1970. This Kader-made FT sold originally in AHM’s catalog and joined Bachmann’s line in 1977. The model design provided a shell that fit Bachmann’s prior-release F9A diesel chassis, as such the FT shell is slightly longer than prototype. The model returned to Bachmann’s line around 2000 and saw a booster FT B-unit for the first time.
