Description
Pre-Order Due Date: TBA
Most manufacturers give a Pre Order ETA which can be seen near the 'add to cart' button. They also give a due date which is indicative of when the product is expected to go into production.
Please note that the software forces us to leave the "In Stock" banner up for the product to be orderable. Any pre order that says "In Stock" is not actually in stock, as denoted by the bigger "PRE-ORDER" banner.
There is a 5% NON-refundable deposit for preorders, this amount will be deducted from the price of the product when it arrives. You will see how much downpayment is required after adding the item to your cart.
For any pre-order submitted after the due date, we will try our best to fulfill your order, but are at the mercy of the manufacturer and if they produce more than were preordered by their dealers.
Pre-Orders will show a 0 shipping cost now, and shipping will be included on your invoice at time of product arrival.
When the product(s) are available to ship, you will receive an invoice via email and text through Intuit QuickBooks for the remaining 95%. Message and data rates may apply.
Please note that Estimated Arrival Dates can change at any point. Midwest Model Railroad is not responsible for manufacturers delaying production.

Conrail 4022 sits with another ex-Erie Lackawanna E-Unit in Hoboken, New Jersey. For a time, the 4022 was in commuter service while it wore it's classic blue scheme.
EMD’s E8 and E9 were the quintessential North American passenger locomotives of the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of these units pulled long distance and intercity passenger trains from coast to coast. Towards the end of their careers, many would operate in commuter services. The Chicagoland area saw the most E8A and E9As in commuter services on roads such as the Chicago & North Western, Milwaukee Road and Rock Island. The latter two roads also used Budd Gallery cars, which we are also offering!
Conrail’s first “official” office car special locomotive was an ex-Erie Lackawanna E8A, number 4022. This received an all-blue dip paint with can opener logos, the only E-Unit on Conrail’s roster to receive them. The Susquehanna would purchase two ex-BN E9Ams for usage on their executive trains. It was also common to see one or both of these E-Units pressed into freight service as required. The perks of a gritty regional freight railroad! Our E-Units will feature all of these neat variations and more.
The Modernized E-Unit Features:
- 3D laser-scanned body shell
- Accurate nose and roof contours
- Seven different noses and three different back ends
- HEP or steam generator roof top details (where appropriate)
- Two different sides – with and without lifting lug covers
- Three different steam generator options
- 36” fan, 48” fan or non-dynamic brake options
- Single- or dual-headlight configurations
- Freight or passenger pilots
- Three styles of side grills
- Numerous road-specific detail parts in both plastic and metal
- Original porthole sides or rebuilt blanked sides (including unique variations)
- Skirted or non-skirted fuel tanks
- Original square and slope or Hyatt roller bearing journal boxes
- Heavy die-cast chassis
- Smooth running drive system with all wheels powered
- MoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running
- DC/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC/DCC/Sound
- Complete lighting effects – headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, cab lights and more
- Suggested minimum radius: 22”
In the late 1990s, the NYS&W along with the NYSWTHS ran some neat trips with the E-Units and their steam engine, number 142. Photo courtesy of Otto Vondrak.
