CJM - According to my sources (Marre and the RITS diesel roster), I can confirm that #627 was, as you said, an E6A. The Rock Island only had two E3As (625 & 626) vs five E6As, so the E6s were 2.5 X more "visable". The two RI E3As were the only E units to have a special taper at the rear to match up with the streamline cars - what are the odds that the model maker will do this ?? (slim or none ?) I agree with your choice of the P2K E6A. P2K's past E6s have been great (I've got one), so the new sound model should be really super ! Especially if they do the detail as well as they did on the new RI GP38-2, which is almost at Atlas Master level !! I'm waiting for a P2K sound RI E8A, myself - hopefully the next P2K run of these units will have sound, too !! If so, they can make mine in the red and yellow scheme, as found on the Quad Cities Rocket !!!
