Скачать или смотреть Athearn November 2024 Announcements: Athearn Roundhouse EMD F7A Diesel Locomotive

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.

The Athearn F7 itself also has a lush history. It was the first plastic one-piece body locomotive in the Athearn for the time, in the 1950s. The Athearn F7 has been the train set locomotive of choice for over a generation of model railroaders.

Now, the classic Roundhouse F7A has been re-tooled and improved to be even better. With customer-requested features such as 21-pin DCC compatibility, and dual rear coupler mounting options, this classic streamliner is ready to enthrall a new generation of model railroaders.
