Description:

Built in 1948, this locomotive is one of the most famous of all. After the success of the E7, this triple axle passenger unit was the epitome of sleek, stylish and progress. (If you ask me, still is)

These were used in regular service all the way up into the 90s by major commuter railroads, and Amtrak (a 40 year lifespan in regular service is pretty darn good if you ask me).

• Amtrak Day 1 #4316 (Forward and Reverse]
• Amtrak Day 1 #249 (Forward and Reverse)
• Amtrak Day 1 #4316 B Unit (Fantasy)
• Amtrak Phase 1 A-B-B-A
• UP A-B-A
• UP #942, Museum Edition
• EMD Demonstator A-B-A
• B&O A-B-A
• PRR Brunswick Green 5 Stripe A-B-A (B Fictional)
• PRR Tuscan Red 5 Stripe A-B-A (B Ficional)
• PRR Brunswick Green Single Stripe A-B-A [Fictional]
• PRR Tuscan Red Single Stripe A-B-A

For only the holiday season, I’m currently accepting Skin commissions. If you’re interested, email me at [email protected].

I went REALLY hardball on this locomotive. It has almost 100 modular parts and pieces to make different RRs protypical for reskins.
