The Milwaukee Road EP-5 Electric No. 2351 was available in 1957 and 1958. This engine featured twin operating pantographs and magnetic operating couplers, lighted at both ends, a three position directional unit that controls a single vertical worm drive motor, operating horn, and Magnetraction. The overhead pantographs could be wired to power this engine.
Produced on a YELLOW body, it would be painted DARK RED and BLACK with YELLOW heat-stamped lettering. Reproduction shells use a silk screen process. A growing problem in the aging of these units is the stress placed on the ends that mount to the chassis. This, and tension induced by the insertion of the oversized headlight lens has caused cracks on the ends. There are no variations.
This engine will run equally well on O27 Gauge track as well as the larger radius of O Gauge track. |
