Adams and daughter...foundry

That's very cool, but...

...isn't the diesel in to photo and video an E6? I thought that, starting with the 7, (then 8 and 9) the E units had a more vertical (less slanted) nose...

In any case, love seeing all that old stuff!

The video's definitely an E6.  The photo is an E5.

I agree.  I've watch many of those videos.  Watching those pioneering models still being operational is a blast.

Agree entirely, the AB set of E6's is really nice, though note the car body size dwarfs the trailing consist,          Carey are those cars Walthers/Crestlines?

Also the E5 in that article is awesome, gorgeous et al, wonder if it still exists?

Wow!

Hello all ...Adams "E" nose ...appears to be a tweak of a Pomona ( prewar ) nose ...which were 17/64ths ......

So the Adams E's tower over the 1/4 Walthers cars ...but will have to do till a set of Exacta or Pomona cars surface in B&O ...

(Adams E ...look really good pulling a string of Exacta cars ...made in 17/64ths) ..note Exacta cars were made both in 1/4" ...and 17/64ths ...

Here is a link to see a Pomona E unit pulling Pomona cars (monel metal), all in glorious 17/64ths ...1940-1
