You mean the ancient Atlas EMD E8's with the plunger pick-ups? http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/rive8.html

I have one which I'm thinking of converting. I think it should be possible. If you go to this link you will see full details of the motor contacts etc. (click on the photo's for close-ups). http://members.aol.com/dgosha/E8s.html

Fascinating. Can't wait to see pictures of an A unit done so that I can copy it.

Thank you. They will come in really useful. They may be old locos, but I like them.

Possibly Conrail blue?
