Great Northern F7A Diesel Loco





The Great Northern Railway connected the U.S. Northwest to the Midwest with a spectacular route through the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, including a stop at Glacier National Park. Your GN F7 “A-unit” has twin Bühler motors to help you climb the grades. Add an F7 “B-unit” (26582) for authentic digital sound.


The Prototype
In the late 1940s, General Motors' Electro Motive Division (EMD) introduced this classic American diesel-electric locomotive. With its handsome "Bulldog" nose and 1,500 horsepower, the F7 was an instant hit with railroads and railfans alike.
Almost 2,400 F7s were built, and for decades, these powerful diesel-electric locos could be found in freight and passenger service all across America.
