While not all that prototypical, I can appreciate Lionel making an "E6 that looks almost like an E5" with the Colorado & Southern (CB&Q) model on pages 52 and 53. With the expectation, valid or otherwise, that Lionel will run the California Zephyr in the future, I will be picking up the CB&Q passenger cars for what looks like the "Texas Zephyr" that Lionel is running with these.

It seems that by putting “E5” in quotes, they are conceding that it is an E6 painted to look similar to an E5. Lionel did the same thing several years ago with their TMCC version.

3rd Rail made an actual E5.

I do like Lionel’s ABB look, though, instead of the usual ABA.
