The E8 (A and B) are CCE's most popular shells. This classic EMD locomotive could be found pulling passenger and freight trains from the late 40's until.. well.. today! (UP's executive train being an example.)
The modification of a standard Eishindo KIHA-40 to fit the E8 shell is quite easy. The most tricky part we have found, is installing the front coupler! The following photos illustrate the process.
