Clarification of which model/version of the engines being produced would be great. I have been doing some web browsing and there are significant differences between versions of the ATSF E6.

April/May 1940 and May 1941.......

As modified mid-1950s

I personally prefer the looks of the "as delivered" model and I hope Scott makes that version. I am no expert but there are many obvious differences in the two versions that I can even see. I am a sucker for the sleek streamlined front end! The additional headlight and the exposed front coupler detracts from the front end in my opinion. Speaking of....was the rake on the E6 front end the same as the E3? Just curious.
