I have almost the entire US Programm made by Fleischmann, except the 1391 New Haven electric and the 1351A NYC 0-8-0. The electric looks very closely like the real EP-5 "jet". The model is based on the NS 1200, while the real NS 1200 was a liceensed engine based on the EP-5. Both are great engines! I will never understand why the F7s 1343/ 1344 /4700 / 4702 had to be coupled together so far apart!
runs great for being over half a century old
