You are looking at a HARD TO FIND item from 2000. These Rail King LINE E8 diesels were VERY HOT when they came out, and are therefore not seen often today--really, who would want to let go of such a beauty? And the bold colors of the Rock Island Rocket always stand out.
This is the POWERED and non-powered units that would look great pulling your rolling stock or passenger cars.

CONDITION: C-7+++, maybe C-8. Rail King. Used. Tested and works well. A few light paint rubs. They look great. Some light wear on the rollers and wheels shows runtime, but not too much. Cosmetically it is beautiful--you might find a speck here and there, but really looks new. There are two round window portals missing, but we have those coming and will install or include. With original box which shows some creases, a bent corner and a few rubs.
