Great stuff, Bill! 👍👍 I love those big electrics. Dave Seems like a high percentage of modern electric locomotives are manufactured with die cast shells. Is there a reason for that process ? Bill

Very nice Bill, always liked those big electric engines. The 3 unit Milwaukee road electric set is my favorite although I like them all.
Thank you for posting Bill.

Bill I didn’t know that - that’s interesting. I run a Premier EP5 (no curves for the big ones) and it’s moulded ABS. Maybe the diecast gives traction weight that would otherwise need adding to a plastic version. Dave

I guess when Lionel came out with the diecast GG-1 electrics back in the fifties they set the precedent.

Great lineup of ‘juice jacks’! I also love those blue Great Northern passenger cars. I’m sorry that I passed on them only because I have an eleven car set of the K-Line GN cars in the green and orange scheme. I could have had them for a steal several years ago.
