Hi Sean! Thanks for showing me how Schrader is spelled. I struggled with that for awhile. Now I can go back and edit my post correcting the spelling. It is good to see you have a New Haven EP-4 electric also by Schrader. I know New Haven is your favorite road. At the Greenberg train show last weekend I also saw a Famco GG-1 in an old original box that was falling apart. It was in much better condition than the one one I got. It looked like it wasn't completely assembled yet, so you could tell if all the parts were there.

Hi Frank,
You had me second guessing myself there Frank. LOL! This is actually an EP4, not an EP5. The EP5 is a different looking loco in that the ends seem to resemble the boxy FA Alco units a little. I do not have any EP5s, but I really do want one. They seem to sell for way more $$$ than what I am willing to spend yet.

On a more positive note, the hand rails do seem somewhat scale.
