The last re-use of the EP-5 tooling in the Post-War era was from 1959 until 1960 when the 2358 Great Northern EP-5 was available. This is a handsome locomotive with its orange and green "Empire Builder"-inspired paint scheme set off with three small yellow stripes. "Great Northern" was heat-stamped on the sides in yellow, but the end markings, number, and "BLT BY LIONEL" were done with a single large adhesive backed decal on each end. This decal is very fragile; many decals have flaked with age or have been damaged. When an original decal has been removed for replacement, usually some orange paint was also pulled off, making the grey shell of the body visible around the replacement. The 2358 is mechanically identical to the 2350 New Haven, 2351 Milwaukee, and 2352 Pennsylvania. All feature the following: two pantographs, a single Pullmor motor, metal frame, diecast battery box, diecast trucks with operating couplers on both ends, Magnetraction, three-position E-unit (i.e. reversing unit), ornamental metal horns, battery powered horn (requires a D cell battery for operation), operating headlights, and illuminated number boards with the number 375 (the prototypes on the New Haven RR were numbered 370-379). Lionel used identical number boards with 375 on all four EP-5's. These locomotives can be powered from overhead catenary systems using the two pantographs on the roof as well as through conventional track power. |
