Picked up my E8s yesterday, a few photos are attached...

Brought the units to Port Jervis today, and somehow couldn't quite capture the majesty... The MTH colors on their Erie units come a lot closer to matching what is in Port Jervis today, but the 3rd Rail is a lot closer to the colors used on the NS Heritage Unit, which given the effort NS went, I'd say is an accurate reflection of the documented colors used... Just can't win.

 

 

Hey RootbeerRail:  I see you have a 3rd Rail PRR E8.  How did you get to the program run switch?

  Just happened to notice you are new to the Forum. Welcome and nice choice of names!

What does this have to do with the subject of the current E8 units?  You might want to eMail Scott directly.
