EL 2564 |
Description: |
Given EL's propensity for lashing stuff up, an almost matched set of GP35s was a rarity in later years. I say "almost" since the middle unit is a Phase Ib1 with the thicker frame, while the lead and trailing units are Phase IIb with the straight frame. Date of photo approximate. |
