KMT model # EB501

[ibrokeit]

I just became a proud owner of this oldster boxcab electric.. It runs! What is it? what is the value? Tell me anything about it

In the Greenberg Guide to Kusan Trains which also covers AMT and KMT electric trains the only reference to a 501 locomotive is a C&O Kusan general purpose switcher which is now in production under numerous roadnames as a RMT Beep. This is a chopped version of a possible GP-7. It is shown on pages 31 and 45 of the Greenberg Guide. It is not a boxcab electric, can you post a picture of your boxcab ?

I suspect you have a "KTM" instead of a "KMT" engine. If so, it's a replica of a two-axle Japanese electric locomotive and was made in the 1960's. Even though the KTM engines were made with scale wheels, I have operated them with success on tubular O-gauge track.
