HO RND F7A DCC-Ready Locomotive (RND-2743)

HO Roundhouse F7A DCC-Ready Locomotive is an HO-scale rendition of the EMD F7A diesel, designed to bring the classic road-switcher look and dependable performance to modern layouts. This model features a revised frame with heavy die-cast weight, a flush-fitting cab, porthole, and rear window glass, and it includes space for a 21-pin DCC decoder to support easy lighting and control upgrades.

Inside, it delivers smooth, quiet power with all-wheel drive and a 5-pole motor with flywheels and a multi-link drive for reliable pulling. It rides on RP25 wheels for compatibility with popular track brands, and arrives fully assembled and ready to run. Details include separately applied horns, McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, and two-wire-per-truck electrical pickup for steady power, all topped off with painted decoration. It accommodates single or dual headlights per prototype and is designed for an 18-inch minimum radius, making it a versatile addition to a wide range of layouts.
