Prototype InformationModel Information
  • The first year of production of the E8/9 by EMD was 1949. More than 500 A-units and 80 B-units would eventually be built.
  • The E8/9 diesel locomotive shared the similar "bulldog nose" carbody style as the shorter, more popular F7 and was powered by two separate 12-cylinder prime movers capable of producing 2250/2400 hp.
  • The E8/9 also rode on A-1-A trucks (powered axle-idler axle-powered axle), resulting in an exceptionally smooth ride favored by crews.
  • The E8/9 was produced in both A-units and cabless B-units. The A-units were usually built to railroad specification of either single or dual headlight and freight or passenger pilot.
    Like the F3 and F7 of the same time period, the E8/9 was utilized in both passenger and freight service.
  • All units are equipped KATO five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels.
  • All units are equipped with the remarkably prototypical-looking, semi-automatic KATO couplers.
  • All units feature white LED headlights!
  • DCC Ready engines easily accept the Digitrax DIG-DN163K0A.
