IHC has E8A's and B's painted for roads the never had them (D&H? NH?!?) -
but they try. I think the D&H E8A is numbered the "20" (right after their
four PAs)

How about the Athearn EL PB-1? :)

It's all a case of "make money off the molds." I really don't have a problem
with it, if it helps to pay for model that IS correct for something. The
only issue is that newbies to modeling might take the model at face value
and assume it's correct...
