Description   As America's railroads rebuilt their passenger service following World War II, premiere trains received new equipment from engine to observation car. And once production resumed in 1945, many were led by brand-new E7 diesels from EMD. By 1948, the 567B prime mover was ready and the more powerful E8 entered production. These units were built through 1954, when the virtually identical E9 with its 567C prime movers was introduced. Speedy, powerful and economical, E8s and their kin proved to be an excellent choice for long-distance name trains. Despite the many changes in passenger service over the years, E8s were among the first diesels to serve Amtrak when operations began in 1971; others ended their days in commuter service a few years later.   One of the true classics of American diesel design, the PROTO 2000 HO scale models are faithful replicas of the originals. From the distinctive bulldog nose to the smallest lift ring, no detail has been overlooked.   Features DCC Ready DC Motor with 5 Pole Skew Wound Armature Precisely Meshed Worm Gear & Spur Teeth for Silent Running Operating Mars Light as Appropriate LED Directional Headlights Magnetic Knuckle Couplers
