Description
HO scale CON-COR by Rivarossi EMD E-8 Powered A + Dummy A Set #912 NORTHERN PACIFIC Diesel Engine Locomotives.
This Limited-Edition Collector’s set of 2 Northern Pacific E8-A diesel locomotives is very impressive. The 2 locomotives come in an imitation wood grain covered collector’s box with blue die-cut foam insert. The condition of the locomotives is slightly used with less than 5 minutes of runtime on my layout. This set is pre-owned and consigned. It is believed that the consignor did not operate this pair of locomotives and their first runtime was provided by me when I tested it. See them running in the linked video.
One NP EMD E-8A is Powered and has an operating headlight. The other NP EMD E8-A is a non-lighted Dummy engine. Both locos have NMRA standard hornhook couplers, high-flange metals wheels, and are beautifully painted in Northern Pacific Gray/Green w/Yellow accent scheme. The powered unit has some rubber tires on some of the wheels (please see the pictures for these). Only the rear truck of the powered unit drives that locomotive. It appears to be a powerful motor based on the way the locomotive operates. When connected end-to-end, the powered unit can pull and push the dummy locomotive around 18″ radius curve tracks. On my layout, I have a tight incline coming out of a curve that challenges the locomotive. Otherwise, it runs nice and smooth.
Make this set part of your model railroad empire by getting your hands on it as soon as possible. Look at my other listings often because the consignor consigned many Northern Pacific passenger and freight cars as well as other locomotives too.

ShowMyHobby’s Combined Shipping policy: I combine shipping on multiple items purchased, however, you have to pay upfront for all listings and selling platform generated shipping costs of all items. It is suggested that you place all the items you want in a cart and buy them from the cart. I do not send an invoice requesting payment and I cannot estimate your shipping costs because I will only pull and box the items after I receive full payment notification. Instead of an invoice, you will be refunded any overages you pay that exceed $1.50.
SPECIAL LISTING NOTE: This item may be listed as part of other listings. The listing that SELLS FIRST that includes this item will cause the other listings to be invalid as there is only 1 of these items available for sale. I will modify or remove invalid listings as I become aware that a component item of a listing has been sold. In the event that 2 or more combined listings sell that comprise components from multiple listings, I will ship the first order and notify buyers of the other listings. I will either give buyers of the other listings the opportunity to receive what they bought minus items already sold or I will provide a full refund. If I notify you that a portion of your listing was previously sold, you need to respond as soon as possible within 12 hours of my notification otherwise, I may have to cancel your order and relist the remaining items separately without allowing you the opportunity to acquire what remained after someone else bought a portion of the listing.
