HO EMD F7B Locomotive T&P 1517B Eagle Scheme (BLI8317)

HO EMD F7B Locomotive in T&P 1517B Eagle Scheme is a detailed HO-scale replica of EMD's F7B cab unit, finished in the Texas & Pacific Eagle scheme with road number 1517B. Designed for HO layouts that run both passenger and freight service, this B-unit captures the iconic silhouette and authentic livery of the prototype. Part of Broadway Limited's Stealth Series, it arrives DCC-ready with no factory sound and includes an 8-ohm speaker to simplify adding a sound decoder if desired, while directional lighting enhances realistic operation.

With a die-cast chassis and ABS body, the model delivers solid pulling power and dependable performance on HO track thanks to all-wheel electrical pickup and a drive system engineered for heavy towing and smooth slow-speed operation. Prototypical road details are faithfully reproduced, including Mars light, correct number boards, water and sand hatch placement, dynamic brakes, cooling fans, winterization hatch, MU doors, and other accurately placed features, plus metal Kadee-compatible couplers. It supports Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 rails, runs on minimum 18-inch curves, and is ready for a decoder while the included 8-ohm speaker aids in adding sound if desired.
