Bryan,

Thanks for reaching out to them. Hopefully that will get them to fix it (like they did for the SW1200s) before they produce them.

The announcement is for E8/E9 locomotives. The only external difference between an E8 and E9 was the nose headlight gasket. The headlight was more a flush fit on the E9. Life Like Proto 2000 and now Walthers Proto do the same thing with their E8/E9. So them having a E9 number would be fine.

And red stripes are A-OK for us 1963-era modelers!

I've already reached out to them to try and correct things. They don't have the nose grabs, which is 100% wrong for red stripes. Also, one of the numbers they chose is an E9 and not an E8.

Unfortunately in the worthless red nose stripes...  One can only hope for the all silver scheme with black nose stripes.  ;-)
