Review CON COR Concor Ho Scale Burlington Zephyr Silver Streak Lettering Limited Ed Cd 8722

Product Description for Concor 001-8722 HO Scale Burlington Zephyr "Streak" Locomotive with Lettering for ED CD-8722-001

The Concor 001-8722 HO Scale Burlington Zephyr "Streak" Locomotive is an exquisite model representing the iconic EMD (Electro-Motive Division) E8A diesel locomotive, famously known as the "Streak of the West," which was in service with the Burlington Railroad from 1949 to 1963. This model, meticulously crafted by Concor, showcases remarkable attention to detail and accurate historical representation.

The E8A locomotive, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was one of the first successful "bulldog hood" diesel locomotives. Its distinctive design drew from the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style motifs popular during the 1940s and 1950s. The Concor 001-8722 Scale Burlington Zephyr model captures these features perfectly. With its powerfully streamlined profile and imposing presence, this diesel locomotive stands out as a notable addition to any HO Scale model railroad.

Key Features of the Concor 001-8722 HO Scale Burlington Zephyr "Streak" Locomotive include:

1. Authentic Western Pacific Railroad SLB-2 painted Kodachrome Traditional Amtrak Yellow and Nuff Said lettering, representing the ED CD-8722-001 locomotive that carried these markings during the Burlington Northern's Amtrak era.

2. Etched metal trustline grilles, coupled with separately applied, hand-painted piping and detailed cab, create a realistic representation of this iconic locomotive's exterior.

3. Centralized Air Conditioning (CAC) Vents are accurately placed and include intricately detailed drillwork and rivet detailing.

4. The model's interior features accurately designed EMD 567B Prime Movers made with die-cast frames.

5. Super-detailed Fuel Tanks are protected by walkway detailing.

6. Operating coupling hooks as well as authentic rolling bearings round out the exterior detailing.

7. The Firebox, Belly-mounted Steps, Handrails and Handholds provide accurate scale detail that facilitate easy access to the interior.

8. The interior includes finely detailed boom-style fuel tanks, accurately-positioned truckside-mounted pumps, and cab details preferably found on this model.

9. Recessed speaker detailing is also included.

10. Three separately applied, hand-painted headlights, a steam whistle, and windshield wipers add to the model's realism.

11. The underframe has separately applied detail parts and clear water collection boxes with die-cast metal water tank and underframe detailing for even more authenticity.

12. Multiple finely detailed cab numbers and Burlington Zephyr lettering, as well as engine number E8A, add to the historical authenticity and aesthetic appeal of this HO Scale Burlington Zephyr Streak locomotive model from Concor.

The Concor 001-8722 HO Scale Burlington Zephyr "Streak" Locomotive represents a true-to-life, exquisitely detailed, and historically accurate model of an iconic diesel locomotive. It is a must-have for serious HO Scale model railroad enthusiasts who value both intricate detail and historic significance.
