This was not a demonstrator paint scheme believe it or not, just a one off for the World's Fair. The locomotive was owned by the Seaboard and started at the fair in 1939 as an E3 in silver paint with red stripes. In 1940 it got an upgrade and several iterations of this paint scheme. I found at 3 just for the E6 schemes. A very rare unit in built and model form. 3rd Rail only produced 3. Enjoy it!

Hey Jonathan, that is new and interesting information as I assumed, as many it seems here did also, that this scheme was the demonstrator. Which brings up the obvious questions, was there an E6 demonstrator and if so, what did it look like? I don't remember anyone asking for or posting the demonstrator image.

My limited E6 sources show no information on a demonstrator.
