Has any manufacturer made these yet?

Not in O Scale 3-Rail.
no only e3/e6 have been done scale by MTH and Lionel.
It would be nice to see Scott Mann jump on this/these locomotives.
EA and E1 both were imported by Key Model Imports.
E2 is still on the reservation page.

Also Overland Models imported many early E's including the E2's maybe 25 years ago.

Yes, for Scott/3rd rail, Lionel, MTH or Atlas to do this is something I have also been looking for, waiting on for years. Have E6 motive power, would be great to have a continuous line of E models to display/run.... preferably all in U.P. livery. Although, I do not believe that would be any problem, having them all in U.P. yellow, in 3 rail O.

I'd be interested, especially in an Alton (later GM&O) EA (also later converted by GM&O to E8 specs and appearance).
I'm surprised that some or all of these really early - but not really rare - E-units have not shown up from L, M or 3rd.
Yes, the closest that have ever been done were the pre war Lionel, the City of Denver, for instance. I was fortunate to find one at the OKC train show last Sunday, the 4th. Since it has already been "restored" by someone before (it is 80 years old, ya know, but runs very well), I will need to strip it down and do a much better, correct repainting. While I am at it, may be tempted to also do upgrade in the control dept. with TMCC. Now..... what to do for the RS aspect? HMMMMMMMM......... Then, perhaps do same on the M10000 I had to rescue from a previous repaint attempt. Never ending, is it not ? But then, on the M10000 I do have the Century Club II two tone for the TMCC version..........

If someone goes through all the trouble of making an EMC EA or an E1, I hope they make the demo model. I would be in for that model!
