Milwaukee, Wis. - The classic EMD F7 joins the line-up of Walthers PROTO 2000 diesels this September. These superbly detailed HO Scale models will be offered in matching A-B sets, single A units, or single B units, all available with or without DCC and sound.

From 1949 on, the F7 was a fixture on railroads large and small. Equally at home in freight or passenger service, EMD built over 2200 A and 1400 B units, which were delivered in a rainbow of schemes. Tough and durable, many soldiered on into the early 70s and several have been preserved.

Completely new from the rails up, the PROTO 2000 F7s are setting new standards for performance and realism.

The design began with a completely new drive that includes:
*14:1 Gear Ratio for Easy Multiple-Unit Operations
*Helical Gears for Ultra-Quiet & Smooth Running
*Five-Pole, Skew-Wound, High Torque, High Efficiency Can Motor
*Heavily Weighted for Maximum Traction
*Both A&B Units Powered

Each PROTO 2000 F7 comes ready to run with an amazing array of railroad-specific, factory-applied details such as:

• Painted Metal Grab Irons, Ladder Stand-Offs, Handrails & Lift Rings
• Correct Coupling Distance Between A & B Units
