I don't know if any of the NYC's FA/FB were steam generator equipped, but they did **occasionally** operate on passenger trains: "Trains" published an article (in two parts?) on the FA some years ago that had a picture of two or three Alco BB carbody units on a National Guard extra: special train, not on regular passenger timetable, not frequent enough to justify buyin extra passenger units (and summertime, so the steam-generator or lack thereof wasn't an issue), but if you want to have NYC FA (probably, though I'm not sure, FA-2/FB-2) pulling a passenger train on a model railroad, and a nitpicker complains, THERE IS A PROTOTYPE.
