Test ran on 6/12/25 and found her to run smooth and quiet in both directions with directional lighting. Likely test run only. Original box & foam are included and in good shape. A must for the brass SP collector!
While primarily used for freight service across the UP system, a few were also assigned to passenger trains like the Portland Rose.

In superb, mint condition. Really exquisite pieces. Both units run smoothly and quietly. Speed matched very well out of the box. All lights tested to work, including dual beam main headlights, Mars warning lights and backup lights.
Almost no wheel wear! Each of the E9B’s we have listed are factory painted and lettered. They are gorgeous. They each run well in both directions and will get smoother and quieter with light lubrication and break-in as they have been sitting for several years.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire this gem as only a handful of these units were imported from Korea. Tested on 3/31/25 and found her to run smooth and quiet in both directions. One of the corners on the box was torn so we decided to tape it back shut.
