The 630 was the world's last operating E6 and still is - at least I believe it operates. It's now at the Midland Railway at Baldwin City, KS. <br /> <br />It ended its days in suburban service out of LaSalle St. Station. Two bi-levels would be enough train for it; they tried to keep it off the longer trains because it wasn't too potent at that late date. I believe Athearn has done the RI bi-levels - the red ones. Get a cab car and a trailer and you'll have a nice, authentic train for the 630 - if it's painted in that scheme it has now. <br /> <br />Old Timer
