As promised after the Reading Modeler Meet here are finished pictures of my E-5 finished for those who couldn't attend the meet.






Wowak and I got a group shot of the 2 E-5s likely in the world for a little fun too. A bit of a E-5 scale guide.




A video will follow, probably next weekend.

"To-Die-For" Wonderful modeling. Very much enjoyed the videos showing their smooth, quiet operation.

The Reading still rides the rails thanks to modelers such as you.

Got to making a video today. I set it up like railfaning the entrance of a yard with the E-5 "switching" cars and other in and out traffic. The passenger train is kind of a joke with as a football train with Eagles cars, the Beer refers I have and a few coaches, everything you need for a game headed to Philly.
