Description
Description
The E7, a 2,000-horsepower passenger train locomotive, was manufactured by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division in La Grange, Illinois. From February 1945 to April 1949, a total of 428 cab versions, known as E7As, were produced, along with 82 booster E7Bs from March 1945 to July 1948. Its 2,000 hp was generated by two 12-cylinder model 567A engines, each powering its own electrical generator to drive the two traction motors on one truck. The E7 marked the eighth model in a series of passenger diesel locomotives with a similar design, known as EMD E-units, and it quickly became the best-selling E model upon its release. The E7A featured a less slanted front nose compared to earlier EMD passenger locomotives, earning it and its successors, the E8 and E9, the nickname 'bulldog nose' units. Some of the earlier units were referred to as 'shovel nose' or 'slant nose' units. More than 20 different railroads acquired E7s for their passenger trains. Currently, only one E7 example survives, with ex-Pennsylvania Railroad E7A #5901 being preserved, cosmetically restored, and on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania.

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.
