Conrail Office Car Special (OCS) Train with PRR E8 #5809 as 2nd Unit (Video)

Nice! Looks really good

Hey guys. Here is a short video I made of my Conrail Inspection train using my new PRR E8 #5809 as the 2nd Unit. This is why I bought the PRR E8’s to help out the single unit that came in the set. With 8 scale cars the train needed more power and I got tired of waiting for Lionel to make another E8 in green to match the lead unit. #5809 fills the role quite nicely and I like how it looks.......red paint and all.

Enjoy the video.

Donald,

     Your PRR E8 looks like it is closer to what Tuscan Red should look like than the ones it the “wrong color” post. Enjoy these engines. My real reason for replying to your post is I was wondering what you are going to do with the lead PRR engine you have? Any thought of selling it? I have the PRR E8s produced in 2017. They are the Powered/Un Powered AA engines and I would love to have both engines powered. In fact I really am interested in the chassis as I will be using the shell (5 stripe) from the non powered A unit. My email is in my profile let me know if you would sell the A unit that you are not using and how much you would like for it.

Thanks

I got the 2017 prr AA set, I bought the emd demo single unit and swapped it into the non powered prr  a unit

Tom,

    That engine is hard to find, any pictures or video, did you paint the trucks and frame black? Thanks for the suggestion.

Very sharp!
