[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Wow LimitedClear! That's a hard dose of reality! I'm very fond of E units but one has to assume that these E units probably have mileage somewhere in the millions. Would be wonderful if they were purchased and restored to original appearance. [/quote] Antonio- Feel free to call any of the mechanical folks who have restored or worked on the E units. There are a number that have been restored in various paint schemes (Erie and DL&W come to mind) but when you have locomotives this large with two prime movers and large solid trucks the maintenance costs are daunting. Some of the NRHS Chapters that have them are not operating them due to maintenance and operating costs. That said, they are nice locomotives and I would like to see them preserved. Unfortunately, I can't afford a giant paperweight or I'd buy one myself... LC
