Originally designed for freight service, these locomotives quickly proved their versatility. While most F-units operated in freight service, many were also assigned to short-distance passenger trains. Some railroads even equipped select units with steam generators, allowing them to handle long-distance passenger service as well. In total, 7,642 F-series locomotives were built, serving on railroads across North America and becoming some of the most recognizable diesels ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis production run features several fan favorite paint schemes, this includes Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk Southern's executive F units in their renumbered appearance, Rock Island, and Western Maryland Circus Scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our models come equipped with either Paragon4 Sound\/DCC\/DC and in our Stealth DCC-Ready series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The F7:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoad-specific detail options in this production, prototypically accurate for each road name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilot prototypical for paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Mars Light where prototypical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall horizontal and Large 45-degree numberboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater fill hatch location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand fill hatch location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic brake where prototypical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling fans and exhaust hatch accurate per each prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinterization hatch present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple MU door options on front of model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple skirt options above fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadder rest grab irons present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab iron ladder present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyebrow grab irons present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab irons above cab side windows where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof antenna present and correct where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and Rear lift lug present where accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose door number plate present where accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Wheel Electrical Pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABS Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Horn, Bell, Wipers, and Etched Metal Grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Sounds for the EMD F7 Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Kadee-compatible Couplers (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Operating Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48759087923354,"sku":"10552","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0479\/9781\/2890\/files\/10550-1_C-O_F7A_1-View.jpg?v=1784319514","url":"https:\/\/broadway-limited.com\/products\/10552-emd-f7a-c-o-7003-blue-w-yellow-nose-paragon4-sound-dc-dcc-ho","provider":"Broadway Limited Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
