Originally the name E unit referred to the fact that these units boasted of eighteen hundred horsepower. This designation remained throughout the E unit production even though later models incorporated higher horsepower ratings. Due to the technology of the time, E units like many locomotives used multiple units to achieve the required power. EMD offered cabled units called B or booster units. Some railroads ordered AB, ABB or ABA units depending on power needs.E6s were manufactured by EMD in La Grange, Illinois, between the years 1939 and 1941. To achieve 2,000 horsepower, EMD combined two 1,000 horsepower, 12 cylinder, model 567 engines inside of the engine compartment.INDUSTRY LEADING FEATURES = All new Paragon2 sound and control system = Integral DC/DCC dual mode decoder for ease of operation on any layout = Industry best slow speed operation in DC and DCC = Prototypical light operation with headlight, cab light, rear light and Mars light (where applicable) = Authentic EMD E-Unit sounds - Controllable in DC and DCC = All-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pick-up = 2 Operating knuckle couplers = Factory installed engineer and fireman figures = Near brass-caliber detail at a plastic price PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS = ABS plastic body with heavy die cast chassis for maximum tractive force = Precision gearing optimized for smooth operation = 5-pole can motor with skew wound armature and dual fly wheels = Separately applied handrails, ladders, horns, bell, and more = Will operate on code 70, 83 and 100 rail = Recommended minimum radius: 18 inchesI recently bought out the entire inventory of a well known train dealer and customizer from here in New England, Randy's Customs. He was (and is) a real artist and was famous for the high quality work he did customizing trains with hard to find numbers and paint schemes- better than what you would get from the factory. He was also very particular about the quality of the stock and locos he used, so you'll find these are all high quality pieces. In addition to his work, he also had an extensive collection of high quality factory locomotives and rolling stock. I'll be offering this beautiful inventory over the next few weeks at great prices. Many are one of a kind items that cannot be duplicated. There are also many undecorated/unpainted pieces that he used as a basis for his work, so you can do your own customizing of the trains with your particular interests.Add me as a favorite seller to be the first to know about new items! I list new discount items almost daily.PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT REGARDING PAYMENT AND SHIPPINGAbout Condition: Many of my items are from overstocks, collections, dealer buyouts, or closeouts. I list most items as "used" even though they may have never been retailed or pre-owned. Please carefully read the description. My "Dent & Ding" items are new from the factory but will have some defects in the packaging with good, useable, or buildable contents. An item marked "NOS" refers to new old stock, an item that is as new, in its original packaging - these items very often come from buyouts of dealer stock, and may have been stored for long periods of time and are not currently available from normal distribution. I will sometimes use the accepted collectible rating scale of C1-10 with 10 being mint ( I rarely use this as hardly anything is mint to certain people, but prefer "near mint" or C8/C9, C7/C6 excellent, C5 very good, C4 good, etc.)Payment: Payment is expected within 48 hours of sale.
