Listen to the EMD E7 (Click here) Most of the premier passenger trains including the AT&SF "Super Chief", various CB&Q "Zephyrs", Great Northern's "Empire Builder", New York Central's "Twentieth Century" and Pennsylvania Railroad's "Broadway Limited" were pulled by EMD "E" unit diesel locomotives from the1940's to the 70's, and the biggest percentage of them were the E7's with 428 units produced between 2/45 to 4/49. The railroads developed a love affair for the E units until most passenger trains on major railroads were powered by one of the bulldog nose diesel locomotives. Modelers have been infected by the same bug as the railroads were. Our models have the correct "bulldog" nose contour and detailing as the locomotives appeared in the as-built condition. All versions are ready to run and come with magnetic knuckle couplers. Items 601 to 620 will be fully decorated and have the appropriate number boards. All of them of course will come equipped with our exclusive Quantum sound and control unit, which was designed and patented by QSI and can be operated with either a standard DC power pack as well as DCC controllers. The sound will be as authentic as the rest of the locomotive! Also furnished will be constant intensity directional lighting and lots of added on details plus cab interior detail. A powerful can motor will provide the necessary muscle to pull long strings of varnish! **Specifications on this page subject to change. |
