The E1, along with the EA \u0026amp; EB locomotives for Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio and the E2 locomotives of the Union Pacific, Chicago \u0026amp; Northwestern \u0026amp; Southern Pacific formed a group of early diesel electric passenger locomotives built by EMC that established the basic concepts of the highly successful EMD E Series. In the steam era, each railroad generally had their own passenger locomotive design. These early E units set the stage for later standardization as they were largely identical. They also reflected the new GM inspired style that included sleek and modern appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E1 produced 1,800 horsepower with an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement. They were built in 1937 and 1938 to power Santa Fe's new streamline equipment passenger operations. A units, B units and A-B sets were built depending on the intended use. The diesel engines of the time were still limited in horsepower and were not strong enough to pull large trains. To overcome this, the E1's had a pair of 900 horsepower Winton 201-A engines. Basically, each engine powered the traction motors of one of the trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1950's, all Winton 201A-engined Santa Fe passenger units were rebuilt into E8M units. These were similar to E8 units, but only 2000 horsepower due to the use of the existing traction motors and trucks of the E1's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParagon3 sound \u0026amp; operation system featuring Rolling Thunder with authentic sounds and prototypical operation in both dc and dcc environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory installed engineer \u0026amp; fireman figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered A \u0026amp; B units are smoke unit equipped for synchronized smoke output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Composition: ABS body with die cast chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCouplers: (2) operating Kadee or compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible tracks: code 70, 83, 100 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum operating radius: 18 in or greater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
