I love the utilitarian look of box cabs, and the electrics. For a long time, we didn't have a single model of a box cab or an electric. When MTH issued the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR)   FF-2 Box Cab - that was my undoing - love the look - like the thing was engineered quickly and by folks with no sense of "design" - they are actually pretty ugly. MTH issued three different numbers, and it took awhile - but we have all three. Then come to find out that 3rd Rail also did them in brass and to date we have located two of those models. After the FF2's we added the large EF electrics in New Haven and Milwaukee. Later, MTH issued the P5A box cab - like small FF-2's and we also bought one of the redesigned P5A's with the center cab - for crew safety and a precursor of the famous PRR GG-1's.

We have quite a collection of electric engines from the Pennsylvania GG-1's in at least 9 different liveries, to the large New Haven EF3b and Milwaukee Little Joe's to the Milwaukee EP units. 

Again, our focus has been on eastern roads - plus Milwaukee - love that orange - please take a look!
