Product Information:
HO RND F7A Single Headlight DCC-Ready Locomotive, ATHX #2026 80th Anniversary Limited Edition
The EMD F7 was a 1,500 horsepower Diesel-electric locomotive produced between February 1949 and December 1953 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD) and General Motors Diesel (GMD). Many F7s remained in service for decades, as railroads found them economical to operate and maintain. The Santa Fe railroad operated an extensive amount of EMD F7 diesel locomotives, many painted in the famous “Warbonnet” livery made famous by the Santa Fe’s passenger service. Other famous roads which heavily utilized the F7 were the Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, New York Central, Great Northern, Wabash, and Milwaukee, among others.
