New Delivery.
(Glad this arrived so I could take a break fixing the GN Z-1)
Milwaukee bi-polar electric by MTH.
All cast metal super structure with stamped frame.
Made in 2010 and I just purchased it.
Directional lighting, working class lights, lot of sound affects and remote operating pantographs and couplers.

The front end only has lighted classification lights.
The two center sets of drivers are all powered.
Remote operating coupler.
Switches on bottom of frame.
Lots of electronics in there!
Had to take her apart as one pantograph was not operating.
Some metal rods stick down from the pantograph and a motorized sliding mechanism moves against the rods to lower it. The springs in the pantograph allow it to raise.
Easy fix. Dis-assembly is also easy.
I have two other bi-polars by custom brass.
One made in 1973 and the other 1983, factory painted.
I painted the yellow one.
Initially, I was only going to have one of these, the 1973 was the first purchase.
The 1983 one went really cheap so I bought it.
Then, a few weeks ago, I found out that MTH made one with all the 'bells and whistles' and, by chance, it came up for auction last week and I had the winning bid.
The MTH has more detail.
