Love your channel. These things are tiny!! When my neighbor was moving out of state, he gave me a CON COR N SCALE ERIE PA-1 set. (powered unit, dummy engine and a couple cars.) along with about 10 feet of track. Wish I knew what I have!!!

I have a Con-Cor EMD E8 and it runs great.

So question why does this E8 look like a long version of the F7
@Trains-With-Shane Жыл бұрын
It basically is. It's just stretched to have 2 prime movers and triple axle trucks because EMD needed more horsepower but wasn't into using turbos at that time so they just stuck on a second prime mover.

E units are great looking locomotives. That's a clean one.
@Trains-With-Shane2 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I love E units as well. I wish they would have stayed around longer. But with single prime movers becoming more powerful it was only a matter of time before those big dual monsters were on the short road to retirement.

I have a pair of these purchased new in the '90s. One has a bad headlight bulb that has burned out twice. This must be a common problem.

That's pretty interesting David. There could very well have been part of a run or an entire production run that had poorly binned or rated LED's leading to the failures of yours and mine. I think I'm going to eventually have DDC and Sound installed in this unit so I can live without having a headlight, for now.

@@Trains-With-Shane I replaced the burned out LED obtained from Kato twice, and both times they burned out immediately. No problem with the other Amtrak E8, bought the same time with a different number.
