MTH 20-20399-1 O Gauge New York Central E-8 ABA Diesel Train Set w/PS 3.0 – Your Source for Gaming Essentials* Trains

Description

In the mid-1930’s, as the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors was trying to interest railroads in diesel passenger power, there was a lot of experimentation in exterior design. Looking at EMD’s worm-like yellow and brown Union Pacific M-10000, its gleaming stainless steel Burlington Zephyr, or the boxy, just-plain-ugly early Santa Fe units, it’s apparent that here was a new function looking for its form. The first generation of road diesels found its form in 1937 when the initial E-units, built for the B&O, inaugurated the classic covered wagon cab unit design that would last for two decades on both freight and passenger diesels.
