Hey guys, I'm trying to locate a Seaboard E-unit for S-Scale. I believe American Models made one, but now I cannot locate one to purchase one. I'm looking for an A and B unit, or two A's at least. If anyone knows if these actually exist, please tell me. Thanls for your help.
Hi Scott, I don't recall AM ever producing a Seaboard E unit but that doesn't mean they didn't. I see they have undecorated units for sale now. I don't know which scheme you are interested in but custom paint might be the quicker way to get them. http://www.americanmodels.com/locos/e-8.html Have you asked on the yahoo S lists? Greg
No, actually, all I'm looking for is a large Seaboard locomotive. I will post this to yahoo s, Can i have a link?
Scott - Don't know how accurate you want/care to be, but the Seaboard had no E-8B's. They did however have (I think) 5 E-4B's and for sure 3 E-7B's. Due to joining/splitting certain passenger trains they often ran 3 E-?A's "elephant style." This also seemed to be the rule when they used the E's in freight service. The later mint (savannah) green paint job lends itself well to a "do it yourself" paint job, even my klutzy efforts were quite passable. The "Citrus" scheme - 'fraid you're on your own.
Scott, Here is the link to the S scale list on yahoo: S-Scale : Promoting S Scale Model Trains You will have to join to post but there are several people that should be able to answer your questions. Greg Elems
