Lionel ep-5 great northern

Usually there are several on the Bay. You didn't say if you wanted later versions or one with Command Control or what. I've owned several over the years, and the best one (which I currently own) is the no. 18383 version that came with the PWC set, and you can find it separately if you look around. It has TMCC, RailSounds 5, electrocouplers on both ends, crew figures, directional lighting, and a great paint job - using modern painting methods, it doesn't need front decals like previous versions.

Gn man-  do you have pictures of them?  Do any of them have tmcc?

I have a kline with rail sounds , not sure if it has tmcc. if interested I will dig it up. i think it is detailed nicer than the Lionel.

Yes I am interested  can you take a picture of it and also post the part number.  Thanks

Andrew,
I can post a pic when I get home from work after midnight. The engine is on display  all I have to do is find the box to get item # I believe it does have TMCC and electro couplers. I also think it is scale size. Not sure of Lionel's size. After I take pics I will email you my phone number and we can go from there.

The K-Line is scale, larger than the traditional Lionel EP-5. It has six-wheel trucks, the Lionel 4-wheel. The K-Line is 17 inches long, the Lionel is 15 1/4. The K-Line is just a bit wider also, I believe. As to which will work better for you, it depends on the size layout you have, and what you're going to be pulling. K-Line made different versions of some of their EP-5s with different options, some with TMCC and Railsounds, and some without, for example. Not sure if they had different versions of the Great Northern version.

This is what I found from the Kline legacy site.

K2733-5019CC   Great Northern Scale EP-5 (comm w/RS, EC, cruise)
    K-LINE Collector's Club Member Exclusive.



This Scale EP-5 is the most detailed Electric Locomotive ever made. This model is based on the ten EP-5s produced for the New Haven Railroad in the 1950s. Known for its flashy McGuiness paint scheme, these engines are a favorite of Northeastern Railfans. Built from brand new tooling, this new model updates a postwar classic to current levels of expectation. Dual motors with flywheels provides smooth operation and eliminates harsh starts and stops. Details include directional lighting and illuminated number boards. The pantographs on the roof can be wired to accept power from an overhead catenary system.

This command version is loaded with TMCC, RailSounds, Cruise Control and Electrocouplers.

Release Date: Fall 05

Andrew,
Here are a few photos. I noticed that the doors open as well.

I really like that does it have any crew figures?  What were you looking to get for it?

If that one doesn't work for you I have a Never Run K-line K2733-5018HC.  Great Northern EP-5 with digital sound and cruise control.  Photos attached

 

E-mail is in my profile.

Andrew,
Yes it has crew figures on both ends. I have to find the box and that could take a few days. I'm working 7 days a week.  The engine is like new condition. Is $225.00 shipped a fair price?  My email is raildog@comcast.net we can use that venue to do this deal.

Would legacy control work with this engine ?

I believe you can run this with legacy the system

Andrew,

Are you still interested in the engine?

mark

Yes I am. Just been busy with work,  I'm trying to figure out if I can run it with legacy.  My legacy system is coming tomorrow.  I will e-mail you

Are you still looking for the Lionel EP-5? If so, I have one 6-8762 new in box.
