Many railroads in the 1950’s were vying for the attention of the travelling public, so in 1954, Union Pacific upgraded its passenger services, promoting its commitment to high quality passenger service. The most iconic images of this train were its dome cars, ‘Domeliners’, which granted its passengers with an unparalleled view of the countryside as the train would make its journey, thereby creating one of the most memorable trains of the golden age of American railroading.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe E8 and E9 diesel locomotives share the similar ‘bulldog nose’ carbody style as the shorter, more popular F7 and were powered by two separate 12-cylinder prime movers capable of producing 2250\/2400 hp. E8 and E9 locomotives also rode on A-1-A trucks (powered axle-idler axle-powered axle), resulting in an exceptionally smooth ride favored by crews. The E8 and E9 were produced in both A-units and cabless B-units; the A-units were usually built to railroad specification of either single or dual headlight and freight or passenger pilot. Like the F3 and F7 of the same time period, the E8 and E9 were utilized in both passenger and freight service.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eModel Locomotive Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eExclusive DCC\/ESU LokSound V5 model from Duford Models**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eEquipped with a mix of body and truck mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eDirectional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards as applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003ePowerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability.
