Model Railroading > Rapido Amtrak E8Date: 03/13/23 13:30 Rapido Amtrak E8 Author: kecarden Been working on the Rapido Amtrak E8 with some weathering which I am not done yet also changing the number to another unit. And sine the photo I also removed the grabs and replaced those with wire grab irons. Also order some pilot steps from Highliner since these did not come with the steps

thanks Tim Costello Date: 03/14/23 14:48 Re: Rapido Amtrak E8 Author: RailThunder Looking great on the E unit. That has that tired never washed look that was unfortunately the norm in their last days. Rapido did a great job on these and they're perefect for a lot of areas modeled. Here is my pair on a 1978ish Floridian with an F40 leading. The consist in that era could be all Es (due to SDP40F problems), SDP40Fs, or a mix-match.
