Description

Offered is a vintage Life-Like Proto 2000 Series EMD E8/9 diesel locomotive in Illinois Central livery, road number 4020.

Life-Like Item / Model No. 8712.

This highly detailed HO-scale locomotive comes in its original Proto 2000 presentation box and packaging, including the illustrated E8/9 packaging shown in the photos.

The Proto 2000 line is well regarded among HO-scale railroad collectors and operators for its detailed locomotive bodies and substantial mechanisms. This E8/9 represents the classic streamlined passenger diesel design.
