The Milwaukee Road's full name described its route perfectly - from the Midwest to the Northwest with not much in between. After Chicago and the Twin Cities, a passenger on the road's Olympian saw virtually nothing but farms, ranches, and mountains for 1500 miles. But in 1919, this sparsely traveled mountainous route seemed the ideal place for the General Electric Company and the Milwaukee Road to prove a point: electric power was the Future of American Railroading. And the five EP-2 Bi-Polars were going to be the engines to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficially called Bi-Polar Gearless Types, they were vastly superior to the steam locomotives of their day. With 3,200 continuous horsepower, an EP-2 could pull 13 Pullmans up a 2.2% grade, an incredibly steep hill in real-life railroading. When the Bi-Polars were young, their owners and builders delighted in staging pulling contests such as a 1924 \"Battle of the Giants,\" in which a Bi-Polar easily won a tug-of-war against a pair of steam locomotives, a 2-8-0 and a 2-6-6-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, the source of the Bi-Polar's advantages was also their chief drawback: that darn overhead wire, which was incredibly expensive to put up. The Milwaukee Road's original plan was to electrify 870 miles of track from central Montana to Puget Sound. But a 1923 bankruptcy left the road without funds to string wire over the middle part of the route. As a result, the Bi-Polars spent most of their lives on the 214-mile Coast Division, hauling passengers between the farming town of Othello and the ports of Tacoma and Seattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith prototypical rule 17 lighting, remotely controlled, directionally activated operating pantographs, and the excitement of Proto-Sound 3.0, our die-cast model of this iconic locomotive is certain to make a prized addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme \u0026amp; Cab Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP-25 Metal Wheels Mounted On Metal Axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant Voltage, Directional Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemotely Controlled, Directionally Activated Operating Pantographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Truck Sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Cab Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful 12-Volt 5-Pole Precision Skew-Wound Flywheel Equipped Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Scale Kadee Compatible Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) User-Installed Kadee Compatible Magnetic Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Decorative Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative Metal Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-Board DCC Receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On Code 70, 83, \u0026amp; 100 Rail Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures:11 5\/16\" x 1 3\/8\" x 2 7\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On 18\" Radius Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system.
