the 2 Life Like E8As are both heavy and appear to look newer compared to the other versions. 

The shell is plastic, but otherwise metal and heavy.

Life-Like E8As DCC problem
Posted by Mr. LMD on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 6:37 PM

I have two N scale Life-Like E8As that I want to install DCC. The problem I have is that I looked on the Spookshow website and it says the Life-Like E8A needs milling. I was wondering is there a process to getting a DCC decorder installed into the locos by any chance?
