A couple of questions regarding the CB&Q E8 model locomotive:
1. Assuming you could find both, which is preferable, the MTH Premiere ABA locomotives #20-2892-1 or the the K Line AA model #K-28131?
2. The MTH E8 model comes with a B unit. Can the AA units be run without incorporating the B unit? I don't think CB&Q owned any E8 B units.
3. The MTH model comes with Proto 2. Could it be run with Lionel Command Control?
I am aware of the E6 or E7 model previously offered by 3rd Rail.
Any help would be appreciated.
