HO F7B Diesel PRR #9547B/1-Stripe DC/DCC Sound

The EMD F7 is a 1,500 horsepower diesel locomotive
built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division between 1949 and
1953.   The F7 was EMD’s fourth model in the line of
F-unit locomotives, and was by far the best-selling cab unit of all
time.  The F7 primarily differed from the F3 in internal
equipment, but there were some noticeable external changes such as the
grills and the dynamic brake hatches.  F7’s operated in both
passenger and freight service, and many of them remained in service for
decades.

In this production, we are modeling A and B-units
from nine railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers and paint
schemes.  We are offering A-B sets with Powered A-units (w/
Paragon4 Sound) and unpowered B-units, and also separate single A and
B-units (where appropriate) with our full Paragon4 DC/DCC/Sound
system.  All of our models have road-specific details and
lighting.

prototypically accurate for each road name:

• Pilot prototypical for paint scheme

• Operating Mars Light where prototypical

• Small horizontal and Large 45-degree numberboards
