The E2B has an unknown manufacturer body on it. The black pantograph is a spare AHM GG1 I have. The brass pan is the "correct" one. It is a little narrower than that used by the GG1.

The Atlas C420 trucks are not exactly correct but I do think they look good. It will take some time to get the body done how I want it, but I think this approach will look quite good.

A close up of the brass and C420 trucks. If enough people will want the E2B with the correct trucks, I will look intot he correct side frames for the first production run.

Unless the body comes out less expensive as a resin or plastic offering (based on number of sales), I think the locomotive will be brass.
