Overview
Spanning a career of over 20 years, EP-5 "Jets" were the prize of the New Haven Railroad. While they always ran in the shadow of the Pennsy's GG-1, EP-5's outperformed their electric counterparts in many ways. With its unparalleled acceleration capabilities, EP-5's were able to keep fast, tight schedules between northeast passenger stops. Their electric systems were much more advanced than those of the GG-1 and ultimately became the standard for electric locomotives in the U.S. Now joining the MTH Premier line for the first time, the EP-5 is sure to be a welcome sight on your O gauge layout. Unlike other 3-rail EP-5's, the MTH Premier version features prototypically detailed 6-wheel die-cast trucks. Riding atop the trucks is a metal chassis and a intricately detailed ABS shell. Metal pantographs and other details make this the best O gauge EP-5 ever produced.
