Challenger is proud to announce our newest E unit project including a number of versions that have never before been imported by anyone and also including a number of versions not previously imported by Challenger. Our prior diesel projects — both E units and F units — speak for themselves. Modeler acceptance clearly exceeds the acceptance of any prior or competing models.
Factory painted and decorated including constant intensity lighting, proper headlight arrangements including “mars” light where appropriate. Models planned for already imported passenger trains and/or passenger trains scheduled for future import by Challenger or others. Samhongsa.
