HO 931-933B Standard DC UP by Walthers (WAL92048350)

To pull the growing "City" fleet, UP ordered a variety of new diesels between 1946 and 1950 when the first EMD E8s arrived. Typically run in A-B-B lash-ups, these engines, along with nearly identical E9s, were the signature power on UP's flagship trains through 1971.

Based on units assigned to various City trains, Walthers E8s feature authentic UP-specific details, including the road's distinctive rooftop snowshields. The models come with multiple unit numbers, and are factory-finished in authentic paint, lettering and striping to match the cars. Other features include:

* Revised Body

* See-Through Air Intake Grilles

* Helical Gears for Ultra-Quiet & Smooth Running

* Easy Multiple-Unit Operation

* Superb Paint & Lettering

* Painted Metal Grab Irons, Handrails & Lift Rings

* Five-Pole, Skew-Wound, High-Torque, High-Efficiency Can Motor

* Proto MAX(TM) Metal Knuckle Couplers
