N EMD F7A Locomotive NYC 1654 Lightning Stripes (BLI9086)

EMD F7A Locomotive in NYC 1654 Lightning Stripes is an HO-scale diesel model that faithfully recreates EMD’s iconic F7 cab unit in the NYC Lightning Stripes livery. This road-specific replica is designed for model railroaders seeking authentic styling and dependable performance for both passenger and freight scenes on their layouts.

Part of the Stealth Series, the model is DCC-ready and ships without sound, though an 8-ohm speaker is installed to simplify adding a sound decoder. It features an ABS body with a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort, all-wheel electrical pickup, and a precision drive mechanism for heavy towing and smooth slow-speed operation. Road-specific detailing runs throughout—directional front and rear lights, prototypical horns and grab irons, water and sand fill hatches, dynamic brake components, a roof antenna, and multiple MU doors—plus two MicroTrains-compatible couplers. It will operate on Code 55/70/80 rails and navigate with a minimum 9-inch radius curve.
