Milwaukee Road - 1933 O Scale Premier E-2 Bi-Polar Electric with Proto-Sound 2.0

In 1919, as America celebrated the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I, General Electric was busily developing a group of powerful electric locomotives that would revolutionize the industry. The Bi-Polar Gearless Electrics were 76 feet long and weighed 265 tons. With their enormous power--they continuously produced 3,200 hp and a maximum starting tractive effort of 123,500 pounds--the Bi-Polars handily defeated a series of steam locomotives in the shoving contests staged for them. At the then-staggering cost of $200,000 each, however, many railroads found it too expensive to own large fleets of these engines. Milwaukee Road, closely identified with the Bi-Polars, owned only 15 of these engines, but they formed the backbone of the road's passenger service, powering trains over the mountainous western routes. M.T.H. is proud to reintroduce this scale replica of the only surviving member of the Milwaukee Road's Bi-Polar fleet: the E-2. Reproduced in three different paint schemes versions, each locomotive is equipped with awesome power and features of Proto-Sound 2.0.
