Has a PRR EMD E8 Ever Been Made

Unread postby PullmanCar » Sat Dec 10, 2022 3:58 pm

Hello all. With all of the E8 reskins done over the years from the DTG Amtrak E8 pack, does anyone know if a PRR skin has ever been done? If not this seems quite surprising given the amount of PRR stock for the Horsehoe Curve route and other northeastern routes.

I suppose I should start a thread of E unit reskins that have been done, and allow others to fill in ones I have missed, since the RWA search does not always work, and there have been a variety of 3rd party websites too, which have done reskins. Please let me know if anyone might be interested in such a list.

There is quite a selection, and many preserved E units seem to be done, sadly although I think someone started on Erie 833 I do not think that was ever finished. (I must confess I quite like that unit). In terms of preservation a variety of PRR Tuscan E units seem to have surfaced, from the SLIM in Jackson, MO to those in the Northeast, closer to home.

Both the maroon and the green one are in the library. Search PRR Stripe E8 and PRR E8 Green Stripe and make you check 'exact phrase'.

Actually there are three of them. Five stripe in both colors and the solid one stripe in the Tuscan red.

Thank you very much. I have tried searching PRR, Pennsy, Pennsylvania, E8A, and various other things, but had not found anything. I shall try again now that I have this information.

Thank you.

I also had trouble finding these. An "All words" search for Amtrak E8 does not find these three PRR repaints either, but the same phrase with "Exact Phrase" selected does find them.
