| New Haven EP-3 Passenger Locomotives |

These big, box cab electrics propelled heavy-traction technology into the modern era. A 1931 product of General Electric, the locomotives combined a new 2-C+C-2 wheel configuration with tehn relatively new AC-traction motor technology. Originally geared for 70-mph service, at least one was modified in 1933 for 120-mph testing on the Pennsy. The PRR's engineering department was so impressed with the performance of the EP-3 trials, that the unassuming box cabs would eventually be the prototype for what may be America's most well-know electric, the Pennsylvania's GG-1. Some served the NH until 1961, but not one of the 10 locomotives of this class was saved from the scrapper's torch. Now, you can own a finely finished and detailed model, with diecast metal body, chassis and sideframes. Models are finished in authentic NH-colors and are fully assembled and ready to operate from track power or from live catenary through the fully articulated pantographs. |
