The largest and perhaps flashiest of Joshua Lionel Cowen's standard gauge electric locomotives wasn't the company's most expensive. That distinction belonged to the 2-motored 408E. But it was the 381E, based loosely on a 4-4-4 wheel arrangement, that has earned the distinction of being one of the most prized possessions that a pre-war tinplate era collector can own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, given the limited capabilities in the 1920s to faithfully recreate an accurate model of a real life prototype, the 381E did a fairly good job of impersonating a Milwaukee Road electric that ran over the mountainous stretches between Othello and Tacoma, Washington.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning in Lionel Corporation Tinplate badges and packages, the 381E faithfully recreates the look and glossy colors found on pre-war tinplate locomotives including never-before-offered state car brown and two-tone blue comet blue. For those electric fans of the Pacific Northwest, we've even incorporated in a third offering Great Northern's famous electric locomotive livery found on that road's real-life rails.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough produced today, a user would be hard pressed to tell the difference between these modern classics and the originals of the past until, that is, one runs a Contemporary version equipped with Proto-Sound 3.0. No original 381E could ever run as smoothly or slowly and nor recreate the sounds of a real locomotive like these contemporary treasures. For those who prefer the classic rumble of an AC Bild-A-Loco motor and the ozone smell from a mechanical e-unit, the Traditional version is the choice for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eOperating headlights\u003cbr\u003eStamped steel body and die-cast chassis\u003cbr\u003eBaked enamel finish\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels and axles\u003cbr\u003eOperating metal latch couplers\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails\u003cbr\u003eTwo traditional Bild-A-Loco motors\u003cbr\u003eMechanical E-unit\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with the Digital Command System featuring: passenger station Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 19 1\/2 x 4 7\/8 x 6 1\/2\u003cbr\u003eOperates on STD-42 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/horn\u003cbr\u003eStart up\/shut down\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSound volume\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing signal\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot Doppler\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-clack auto\/off\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
