N EMD E7A Locomotive MILW 17A Gray & Orange Passenger Scheme (BLI8794)

The N EMD E7A Locomotive in the MILW 17A livery features a stunning Gray and Orange passenger scheme, quickly becoming a classic within the realm of model trains. This 2,000-horsepower locomotive was produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division from February 1945 to April 1949, with a total of 428 cab versions manufactured, known as E7As. The locomotive's power comes from two robust 12-cylinder model 567A engines, each driving its own electrical generator to power the traction motors.<\/p>

With its iconic less slanted front nose design, the E7A is part of a series of highly regarded passenger diesel locomotives. It has become notable for its historical significance and is one of the best-selling designs in this category. The Broadway Limited model captures this legacy, featuring prototypically accurate details and road numbers, multiple lighting options, and an advanced sound system with rolling thunder effects.<\/p>

For model enthusiasts, this locomotive offers many intricately applied details such as grab irons, horns, and bell, combined with an ABS body mounted on a die-cast chassis for maximum performance. Its premium caliber painting enhances its aesthetic, while the dual-mode decoder enables smooth operation in both DC and DCC environments, making it a must-have for collectors and hobbyists alike.<\/p><\/div>
