NYC JADE GREEN E8a-E7b-E8a

1/48th scaleOGR Forum Member

I'm in the process of buying and repainting a set of this consist, in Jade Green, for my New York Central collection. In two separate prototype RR books of the New York Central I found two separate color picture of each E8a unit. They were numbered 4053 and 4083 respectively. I also have a color picture of the three units together, but I cannot make out the E7b units number. Can anyone help? Thanks, 148th

Thank you for your info. I'm very aware of most NYC locos and the numbers built. I'm also aware of the word blithely and realize that since you ignored my post request, that pertains to you only. Thanks anyway. 148th

Check out "New York Central System Diesel Locomotives" by William D Edson,TLC Publishing, 1995. On page 183, there is a color shot of 4053 and 4107.
