I would also like to see a RTR E5 - they are very beautiful locos. From the photos I have to hand (the book's called E-units: Electro-motive's classic streamliners) the E was apparently based on an E3 or E6, but with stainless-steel sides and fluting. It also seems to have a couple of grilles aither side of the nose headlight. Conversion from an E6 would be a very involved project. <br /> <br />On the subject of early (ish) E-units, would anyone else like to see a Proto 1k E3? I suggest Proto 1k as it would be a reasonably-priced loco with decent detailing, paint, and running qualities. Also Lifelike seem to release more unusual locos (Erie-Builts, DL109s, etc) as Proto 1k - presumably they feel that the lower prices will encourage buyers who might not otherwise have bought these locos? Just my theory! (Still looking for a C&NW DL109 and the "other" C&NW Erie-Built to match the one I have!)...
