Model Railroading > EMD Corp. made models tooDate: 05/12/22 06:26 EMD Corp. made models too Author: WrongWayMurphy Some pretty nice detail work if you can zoom in on the innards.
Check out the raw materials laying in the floor under the engine stand I assume an E unit of some flavor ? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/12/22 06:27 by WrongWayMurphy.  Date: 05/12/22 06:41 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: RNP47 Fascinating!
Thank you for posting! Date: 05/12/22 06:56 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: icancmp193 There used to be some great Diesel models in the Smithsonian transportation exhibit building. I( wonder if they were made by EMD.
Haven't been there in about 57 years, so memory is a little fuzzy. TJY Date: 05/12/22 08:14 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: kingman might be the first E 1 . Can anybodt see whats missing in this picture ? Just a fun question.

Yes, there was a great large scale model of an E8 in the blue and silver demonstrator colors that I believe did come from EMD. IIRC there were no side panels on one side so the truss framing and all interior components were visible. Here is a photo of it: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_843751 The Smithsonian also has EMD models of the FT 103, Reading GP30 5514 and CNJ 1000 (obviously not an EMD). Apparently some or all of these are currently displayed at the B&O Transportation Museum in Baltimore. The model in this photo looks like an EA, probably Santa Fe or B&O. Would love to see the finished product! Date: 05/12/22 11:42 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: CPR_4000 kingman Wrote:

Nope, nothing missing that I can see! :-) Date: 05/12/22 15:11 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: wpdude I've had worse jobs than that guy :-)
Date: 05/20/22 04:10 Re: EMD Corp. made models too Author: TrackGuy I would say it appears to be 1" scale.
