I would be in the market for the NYC "reversed grey" (aka light grey carbody with dark grey and silver striping) E7's. (There were only a few originally painted this way.) The only "E" that I would be interested would be one that would run about 80 scale mph on 12 VDC. I passed on the earlier NYC "E" release because I heard they were way too slow, about 50 mph. When the NYC was alive and well and running E units, they were below 5 mph for about four seconds.......so I happen to believe that very low speed performance for a passenger locomotive is not critical.
