PRR F7A Diesel Loco, 9833





Between 1949 and 1953, the Electro Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors built an astounding 2,366 F7-A diesel locomotives. Boasting 1,500 horsepower and a handsome "Bulldog" nose, the F7 was and still is the classic icon of diesel railroading in America. On the great Pennsylvania Railroad -- "The Standard Railroad of the World" -- F7s often wore the line´s elegant "Tuscan Red" livery. You can add that classic color to your layout with this big LGB model. Two Bühler-powered trucks provide remarkable pulling power. Add an F7 "B-unit" (25582) for authentic digital sound.
