Reply to "New Haven GE EP3 Parmele & Sturges 1938-41 big green juice box"

I’m aware that this is the 2-rail forum but I think that these pictures of my modern 3-rail MTH Premier model of New Haven EP-3 electric passenger motor #0350 (20-5559-1, MSRP $799.95, PS2 produced in 2005) are relevant to the discussion of the 2-rail New Haven EP-3 models. As I mentioned in my previous post, all New Haven electric passenger motors were equipped with third-rail shoes and a small overhead pantograph (as shown in the last two photographs) to operate on 660-volt DC into Grand Central Terminal. It would be interesting to see a conversion of one of these models to 2-rail.
