Description
More E8s!

Commissioned by a patron of mine, An Iowa Class Battleship. Thanks buddy for your patience and I hope you enjoy these!

Lackawanna/Erie Lackawanna
The Delware, Lackawanna & Western (DL&W) was a Class 1 railroad in Northeastern PA / Western NY. With a terminal in Hoboken, NJ, customers could ride in style along the Phoebe Snow train from there, across the famous Lackawanna Cutoff, to Buffalo NY. The Phoebe Snow was their premier service, lead by EMD E8s and tailed by a pair of Budd Tavern-Lounges.

In 1960, DL&W and Erie merged to become a succesful company for the period (especially compared to the devil Penn Central) and survived up until Hurricane Agnes wreaked havoc among the railroad and caused a sharp decline. Eventually in 1976 it was rolled into Conrail.

Fun fact: Later on in EL's history, they regeared these and used them as freight locos!

  • DL&W E8A*, 1948-1960

Note:
Because random numbers is a cheat of the custom loads functions by UG, these appear automatically in the multiple units section, I have no control over that. Sorry!

I love the E6! I actually have an ATSF one in HO. Some of it is modeled, problem is the nose with the light casing. Anybody that may want to reskin it would probably need substance painter as making it repaintable is very difficult. Uving is essentially unfolding the model like cardboard, making the appropriate cuts where they need to be, and flattening it out in 2d image. When it comes to the nose, making it straight for decals is pretty much impossible without substance painter

Out of curiosity, will you be making any E6 units? I never liked the bulldog nose on the E units, it always makes them seem slower and less stylish. I'm guessing it would take a bit of work to change your EA models around the headlight, windows and radiators? I would love to see it if it's in the works for the future.
