looked at that, but the 2 axles and the 160 Euros makes me say no. I am still on the lookout for a Kato pocket line steeplecab shell..

Is that the little 4 wheel switcher ?  If so I have one somewhere that I'd be willing to sell ( shell and motor/frame ) Haven't run it in 4 or 5 years , but it should run ......Mike

This is the loco (minus the pantograph).


We have thread about it here: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=29976.0

BTW, it is also a 4-wheel loco.

I am interested in it

Otto:  I have absolutely no use for one of those PE motors, but it would be neat to have one.  Put a pantograph on it and I could run it on my MILW branch.

Lol, I don't exactly *need* it either, I have exactly 6' of PE mainline used as a scenic viewblock, see below, but do have some PE equipment to stage on it for photos etc. These little juice cracks have so much character

Here's that same electric many years later.



It would be interesting if some manufacturer tried to market a Baldwin Class B like the PE in the photo or even a Class D.  Either would offer many more road names than something like a GP39-2.

I'll dig it out of storage then . Would 25 bucks be OK ? I'll cover the shipping......Mike
