| EMD E8/E9 Diesels
NOTE: The chassis and trucks
have been totally replaced with an all new design. This is an extremely quiet
and strong pulling mechanism. Each unit weighs in at 6.1 ounces (yes, an A/B set
weighs 3/4 of a pound!). Combined with all wheel drive and pickup, this is a solid
performer.
