Walthers Proto 920-49516 EMD FP7A/F7B Locomotive Set DCC Ready Pennsylvania Railroad 'Brunswick Green-Single Dulux Gold Stripe' PRR #9846A/B

Providing enough steam to power train heat and some air conditioning systems on postwar trains taxed the standard water supply of EMD F units set-up for passenger service, prompting EMD to rollout the new FP7 in 1949. Though outwardly similar, FP7s were four feet longer to accommodate bigger water tanks with a capacity of 950 US gallons. FP7s became standard passenger power into the Amtrak era and beyond, with some handling additional freight chores on many railroads.

These models are fully assembled and feature:

  • New tooling matches the prototypes' extended frame and body
  • Railroad-specific details
  • Limited edition - one-time run of these engine numbers
  • Five-pole, skew-wound, high-torque, high-efficiency can motor
  • Helical gears with 14:1 ratio for smooth, ultra-quiet running
  • Easy multiple-unit operation
  • Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers

Based on Pennsylvania Class EPF15 units, these WalthersProto replicas feature:

  • Nathan M-3 air horn
  • Pennsylvania Train Phone antenna
  • No body skirts
  • Single reflector headlight
  • Frame-mounted water tank
  • Rear sheet roof access grabirons
  • Passenger pilot
  • Engineer's side nose grab irons

The F7B units feature:

  • Nathan K2 air horn on A end
  • Lifting lugs on both ends
  • No body skirt

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
