There are two differnt locos.    The one in the 4th photo has a different cab shape and 3 axle trucks.    Looks like different vents or air intakes on the sides of the body too.    Which one is the E2B, I assume they both can't be the same class.

E2b-- Two two axle trucks, made by GE (The one Scott is making, and shown above in all but the last photo of Don's post)

              four E2b's were sold to Pennsy, a pair of E2b's were also sold to GN.  Pennsy later bought the GN pair

             These ran on the Pennsy until the mid sixties,  were often MU'd with P5as.  Also ran seperately

              Note the distinctive 48" wheels

E3b-- Three two axle trucks, made by Baldwin/ Westinghouse

            Two were sold to the Pennsy.

            They did not last long.  Could not be MU'd with anything else

E2c-- Two three axle trucks, made by Baldwin/ Westinghouse  (Shown in the last photo of Don's post)

            Two were sold to the Pennsy.

            They did not last long.  Could not be MU'd with anything else
