@Chas posted:Hi Marty and thanks for the reply. My theory of MTH not being able to do #814 as seen in your video is wrong However #809 prototypically did not have Mars lights. Regardless those are beautiful engines and cars! May I ask what train name is in the passenger station announcements?
Actually, there never was a Lackawanna 809. Erie Lackawanna 809 was former Lackawanna 820 renumbered to avoid conflict with former Erie 820. As EL 809 it actually did have a Mars light. I believe EL 815 (former DL&W 815) was the only DL&W E8 to lose it's Mars light and that was when the nose door was replaced during the EL years.
