Handling the Blue Ribbon Fleet, Pennsy's 74 E8A units began arriving in
1949 and provided outstanding power and performance for years. Most trains
ran with an A-A set, but when more power was needed to handle longer trains
during peak demand, an E7B was assigned to that day's run.
Like their prototypes, Walthers Broadway Limited E8As include Train Phone
antenna, an improved air horn replica, nose lift rings and much more.
Multiple unit numbers are available for both E8A and E7B units, and they're
factory-finished in authentic paint, lettering and striping to match the
cars. Other features include:
* See-Through Air Intake Grilles
* Painted Metal Grab Irons, Handrails & Lift Rings
* Superb Paint & Lettering
* Five-Pole, Skew-Wound, High-Torque, High-Efficiency Can Motor
* Helical Gears with 12:1 Ratio for Smooth, Ultra-Quiet Running
* Correct 36" Wheels
* Easy Multiple-Unit Operation
* Proto MAX Metal Knuckle Couplers
