Final assembly for all F-units was at the GM-EMD plant at La Grange, Illinois and the GMDD plant in London, Ontario, Canada. They were sold to railroads throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMD FP7 was a 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW), B-B passenger-hauling diesel locomotive produced between June 1949 and December 1953 by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel. Final assembly was at GM-EMD’s La Grange, Illinois plant, excepting locomotives destined for Canada, in which case final assembly was at GMD’s plant in London, Ontario. The locomotive contained an auxiliary water tank and steam generator to supply steam heat to the trailing passenger cars. This necessitated a longer body and frame. Although intended for passenger service, these locomotive still were regularly assigned into freight locomotive pools as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapDiv\" id=\"featureListDiv\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"featureList\"\u003eF-Unit SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" id=\"featureListDiv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-12 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Blomberg-B trucks with prototype-specific wheel bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional constant lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlight brightness remains constant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied photo-etched metal and injection molded detail parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes \u0026amp; retention tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” — Recommended radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapDiv\" id=\"featureListDiv\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"featureList\"\u003eEMD FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-12 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual single-chime horns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal body louvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight style pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll units:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull skirts and overhangs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed wheel bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam generators*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e*Photos of the 7003 are inconclusive as to whether it had a steam generator or not.
