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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this production, we are modeling A and B-units from 6 railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers and paint schemes. We are offering A-B sets with Powered A-units (w\/ Paragon4 Sound) and unpowered B-units, and also separate single A and B-units (where appropriate) with our full Paragon4 DC\/DCC\/Sound system. All of our models have road-specific details and lighting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoad-specific detail options in this production, prototypically accurate for each road name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilot prototypical for paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Mars Light where prototypical (with decoder installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 45-degree numberboards where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall side numberboards where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical horn detail on model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate air intake behind cab side doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling fans and exhaust hatch accurate per each prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate headlight positioning per the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple MU door options on front of model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically accurate truck sideframes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadder rest grab irons present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab iron ladder present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyebrow grab irons present where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab irons above cab side windows where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof antenna present and correct where prototypically accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and Rear lift lug present where accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose door number plate present where accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainphone antenna present where accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Wheel Electrical Pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABS Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Grab Irons, Horns, and Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypically Accurate Sounds for the EMD E7 Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroTrains-compatible Couplers (2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Operate on Code 55, Code 70 and Code 80 Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Operating Radius: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BROADWAY LIMITED IMPORTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44079626617057,"sku":"BLI8824","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/8993\/files\/f050bf0e5dbc380d5534ead8c968b8a0_facf9568-bb31-4b44-b6f5-55c669fb6bef.jpg?v=1695941568","url":"https:\/\/www.tammieshobbies.com\/products\/n-emd-e8a-locomotive-dcc-sound-sp-6047","provider":"Tammies Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
