So far no one has mentioned the 262E. It was sold with 4-wheel freights (800 series), eight-wheel freights (810 series), lithographed 1710 series, 613,614,615 pass., 610,612 pass. for example. The 262/262E was packaged with a number of cataloged outfits from 1931-1934 and was used in promotional outfits from 1935-1938.

This loco was/is a smooth runner and will continue operating smoothly if routine cleaning and lubrication is done on a regular basis.
