E6 Locomotives 
Painting and detail are crisp. This picture barely shows it,
but
visible through the side grill are the internal
support braces.

The chassis is dominated by the large weights over each truck.
Total engine weight is a
monstrous 6-1/8 ounces.
The large dual-flywheels ensure smooth running.
Coupler Converion Info:
MTL-1021/22
for front of the A-Units. The MTL-1128
fits the rear of the A-Units and both ends of the B-units. |

Digitrax Decoder Info:
While
this engine is not designed to be DCC ready it should be a fairly easy conversion.
The DIG-DZ121 could
be fit either in front or back by cutting part of one of the weights away (this
engine doesn't really need to weight 6+ ounces). The motor is already isolated.
By putting the decoder in front of the motor then the headlight wiring would be
readily accessible. | | |
