HO F7A and F7B Diesel Locomotive Set (RND3209)

The HO F7A and F7B models represent the iconic EMD F7 diesel-electric locomotives that were produced by General Motors between 1949 and 1953, known for their reliability and operational economy. This set features both engines, perfect for creating an A-B-A configuration for model train enthusiasts. Out of the box, the trains are fully assembled and ready-to-run, boasting a highly-detailed, injection-molded body that has been painted and printed for realistic decoration.

Each locomotive is equipped with clear windows, machined metal wheels, and see-through cab windows, enhancing the authentic look and feel of the models. The F7A includes a heavy die-cast frame to provide greater traction and pulling power, while the all-wheel drive system and precision gears ensure smooth operation. Meanwhile, the F7B is a non-powered unit that complements the powered F7A. Additional details include separate smoke jack and brake wheel, McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and a minimum radius requirement of 15 inches for track compatibility. Replacement parts are readily available, reflecting Athearn's commitment to model railroading longevity.
