HO B23-7 Locomotives
Features:
General Electric?s ?Dash 7? locomotive line was
introduced as a replacement for the older ?Universal-Series? of the
60s and early 70s. ?Dash 7? series improvements included increased
fuel efficiency, tractive effort and reliability. The B23-7 was a
direct replacement for the 2,250HP U23B model. The first units were
produced for Conrail in September, 1977 (ironically, 3 months after
the last U23B was delivered to Conrail). Production continued
through 1984, with a total of 535 units built. Conrail was the
largest purchaser of the model, with a total fleet of 141
units.
.
Several features distinguished B23-7s from predecessor models. The
long hood stepped outward in the area of the exhaust stack to
accommodate a relocated oil cooler. In addition, the frame was 2
feet longer than that of the U23B. An FB-2 style truck was offered
as standard equipment on B23-7s, but some railroads opted to use
?trade-in? trucks. Therefore, AAR type B and Blomberg trucks could
be found on some models. The six power assembly doors (located near
the center of the long hood) indicated that the B23-7 was powered
by a 12-cylinder GE FDL engine..
.
There were three distinct ?phases? to B23-7 production. Our model
is of a ?phase 1? unit with a 36?2? wheel base. Phase 1 production
lasted through the spring of 1979..
