Kitbashing a GE 80 Ton CENTERCAB
#8
That little electric has an old MP54 pantograph from the 1960s kits on it!

You could probably base it on the E10B, a real life GE switcher that looked very similar to a 80 tonner. They initially replaced 1920s era boxcabs on the Niagra Junction railway, near Niagra falls, New York. the "NJ" was absorbed by Conrail in 1976, and these switchers initially outlasted most of conrails electric operations in the PRR territory. Conrail eventually scrapped some and sold the remainder to the NYC are commuter agency, Metro-North Commuter Railway, where they were rebuilt to run on third rail and Received MTA "Silver/blue/red" paint. some even pulled trains passenger trains, but VERY rarely. It seems once they went to the MTA, they lived out their lives underground
