Description

The EMD F-series played a pivotal role in the transition from steam to diesel power, forever changing American railroading. Originally designed for freight service, these locomotives quickly proved their versatility. While most F-units operated in freight service, many were also assigned to short-distance passenger trains. Some railroads even equipped select units with steam generators, allowing them to handle long-distance passenger service as well. In total, 7,642 F-series locomotives were built, serving on railroads across North America and becoming some of the most recognizable diesels ever produced.

This production run features several fan favorite paint schemes, this includes Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk Southern's executive F units in their renumbered appearance, Rock Island, and Western Maryland Circus Scheme.

About The F7: The EMD F7 is a 1,500 horsepower diesel locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1949 and 1953. The F7 was EMD's fourth model in the line of F-unit locomotives, and was by far the best-selling cab unit of all time. The F7 primarily differed from the F3 in internal equipment, but there were some noticeable external changes such as the grills and the dynamic brake hatches. F7's operated in both passenger and freight service, and many of them remained in service for decades.

Our single A-units and single B-unit Stealth Series offering will consist of No-Sound / DCC-Ready models equipped with an MTC-21 socket to accept an after-market decoder and a speaker. A/B Stealth sets will consist of a DCC ready A unit and a "dummy" B unit (no MTC-21 board or speaker installed).All of our models have road-specific details.

    Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions

    What is preordering and why would I want to do that?

    In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.

    Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.

    Preordering is as easy as 1-2-3!
    1. Preordering is available on any item with the word "Preorder" as the first word in the product title.
    2. We will email your invoice approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse. With the interactive invoice you can select your preferred shipping method and pay the balance of your order right online!
    3. We'll ship you your preorder once your invoice is paid online. 

    How can I place a preorder?

    To place a preorder, simply look for items marked with "PREORDER" in their title on our website. Add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be required to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation.

    When will I be charged for my preorder?

    You'll be charged a 10% deposit at the time of placing your preorder. The remaining balance, along with any applicable sales tax and shipping charges, will be due when the item is ready to be shipped. We'll notify you via email with a link to complete your payment.

    Can I cancel my preorder?

    Preorders can be canceled, but please note that the 10% deposit is non-refundable and will not be credited to store credit, as it goes toward covering the cost of the uncollected reservation.
