Walthers Proto 920-42912 HO Scale EMD E8A Diesel Chesapeake & Ohio C&O 4015 DCC LokSound

Power your HO railroad’s flagship streamliners with WalthersProto E8 and E9 diesels! Introduced in 1948 with the new and more powerful 567B prime mover, production continued until 1954 when the virtually identical E9 debuted with the 567C prime mover. Fast, powerful and economical, EMD’s E units handled premiere long-distance trains for decades, with many ending their long careers in commuter service and occasionally handling fast freight trains.
