Southern E6A/E6 Diesel Locomotive - SOU 2903 in HO Scale by Proto-aco Freightliner (Proto-2000)

The Southern Railway E6/E6A diesel locomotives, numbered as SOU 2903 in HO Scale by Proto-aco Freightliner (Proto-2000), is a meticulously engineered and detailed replica of this iconic American diesel engine. This model represents the rebuilt version of the Southern's Generated Electric (GE) E6 road switchers, which were powered by GE's Model 7HL612 prime mover and sported a fresh, bolt-on appearance.

Designed and manufactured by Proto-aco Freightliner under their Proto-2000 series, this locomotive is constructed with the utmost attention to detail and precision. The drivers and wheels are authentically painted and detailed exactly as the prototype. The frame, manifolds, fuel tanks, plumbing, and other myriad components have been intelligently designed to emulate the real-life exterior appearance of the Southern E6A, leaving no detail overlooked.

In addition to exquisite exterior detailing, this SOU 2903 HO Scale model also comes packed with several advanced features that enhance its operational capabilities and collectability appeal. Proto-aco's smooth-running "No-Slop" drive mechanism provides improved traction, while their distinctively designed U-Channel frame has eliminated the need for spacers, allowing for more intricate underbody detailing.

An authentic Dynamic Braking system has been included for accurate operation. When the locomotive is slowing down or stopped, the air compressor delivers compressed air to sandboxes located at the rear of the engine. As the movement of the train decreases, the weight of the compression air alone presses the sand against the wheels, providing supplementary braking force.

First built between 1956 and 1959, the Southern E6/E6B/E6A diesel locomotives were a significant improvement over their predecessors. They featured updated cab designs, more powerful engines, and improved traction systems. These improvements ultimately led to a remarkable service life for these iconic engines, making them a must-have addition to any HO Scale model train collection.

Note: The 31208 Southern E6A/E6 Diesel Locomotive - SOU 2903 HO Scale model by Proto-aco Freightliner (Proto-2000) is not included with scenery, buildings, or other accessories. It is designed for experienced railroad modelers who possess a HO Scale layout or mature hobbyists eager to expand their collection with an authentically detailed, historically significant, and complex diesel locomotive.
