Marshall-
I know Randy Gordon-Gilmore, having worked with him and Dick Billings in
making the Pioneer Zephyr kit in N Scale happen.... he has many other
projects ahead of the E5s and would be tickled to get a good set of etchings
by someone else in his hands....
I will try to get out to Union and "do" the E5 soon. I don't know when it
will be, but soon, at least before the snow flys!

sort of a "notebook" for detailing & kitbashing the LL slantnoses. I'm also
aware of a small manufacturer in Calif. working on N-scale E-5s . . . and an
outfit called Delta Models has announced a resin conversion in HO -

the E-5 windows are standard EMD sizes rather than custom. Somebody at IRM
may already know that - I never thought to ask!.
