Agreed. An E1 would also be good. I suggested the E3 as there are 8 potential roadnames that it could be painted in, which would allow more variety in the models and therefore more sales - as far as I know only the ATSF bought E1s? The locos may well have had the same length, truck spacing, etc so one chassis could be used under two different shells - or even include the original B&O EAs as well for a third shell on the same chassis. It occurs to me that given the E3 and E6 share a bodyshell design, maybe Lifelike could consider making an E3 as a Proto 1k loco using a simplified (for this read, with fewer added detail parts) version of their Proto 2k E6 tooling?
