The R-1/9's, including R-7A #1575, has each car having electrical 190 H.P. motors, and a different operating control and braking package known as AMUE ME-23. The R-10's, each car with 400 H.P. (100 H.P. in each one of the four motors), have the dynamic SMEE ME-42 braking package system.

Sorry, the R-1/9's and R-10's were not compatible with each other in their days of regular service back then because of this, so I do not recommend in even trying to mix #3184 (a SMEE) with a typical R-1/9 (an AMUE) together for a fantrip. You coupled them together for static display purposes, but that's all.
