Hot H2O,
Hey, I just work here!: I'm GN but, usually, the importers usually get their facts straight on their products.
===============
Milwaukee EP-2 bi polar electric by custom brass.
Just arrived. Two motors for each end unit. Interesting how the center section just fits over some pins located on each end section. It runs well on the track but you have to be careful on picking it up since the attachments are not permanent.
The last picture shows the paint scheme that I'll use.
Milwaukee was a direct competitor to the GN. I believe they were the last to reach the west coast after the GN and NP. They decided to extend their electrification for several hundred miles. GN considered it in the late 40's/50's but deemed it too expensive, plus diesels were showing up.
It reminds me of the Lionel pre-war years.
