O BTO General Motors LEGACY E6 AA Set
General Motors LEGACY E6 AA Set (1939, 1940)
The front-end styling of EMD’s E6 set the proper note
for the streamlined consists which followed. The smooth
flowing lines of these locomotives ushered in a new era
for railroading and formed a canvas for some of the most
dramatic paint schemes ever seen on American rails. The
trains spoke of a world of new opportunities, destinations
and prosperities to a society awakening from a Great
Depression and blissfully unaware of the troubles that
would frame the decade to come.
Lionel’s latest release of this landmark locomotive includes
some of the most memorable paint schemes. Some
haven’t been run in decades and others are being shown
for the first time. We’re pairing up AA or AB sets of these
units based on normal railroad operating practices. Both
units in each pair are powered with smoke and lighting
and you’ll have RailSounds in the lead A unit. For the
first time, we are also offering an additional scale pilot
which can be mounted to the body of the lead unit if
the ElectroCoupler is removed, making these the most
beautiful E’s we’ve ever offered! SuperBass B units are also
available for each road (whether prototypical or not) for
those who’d like even more sounds.
