Product Information

The largest and perhaps flashiest of Joshua Lionel Cowen's standard gauge electric locomotives wasn't the company's most expensive. That distinction belonged to the 2-motored 408E. But it was the 381E, based loosely on a 4-4-4 wheel arrangement, that has earned the distinction of being one of the most prized possessions that a pre-war tinplate era collector can own. This detailed model features a baked enamel finish, stamped steel body and die cast chassis, nickel trim, directionally controlled headlights and 2 precision flywheel equipped motors. It comes equipped with Proto-Sound 3.0 with digital command system featuring passenger station Proto-effects.
