HO F7A KCS 2 Locomotive (RND3263)

HO F7A Locomotive in Kansas City Southern (KCS) 2 livery is an HO-scale diesel-electric model designed to bring the look and performance of a classic F7 to a model railroad layout. Fully assembled and ready to run right out of the box, it features a 5-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels and a multi-link drive train for smooth, reliable operation. All-wheel drive with precision gears and all-wheel electrical pickup provide steady power, while a heavy die-cast frame adds traction and pulling power. The model’s highly-detailed injection-molded body includes clear cab and portal windows, with single or dual headlights per prototype, separately-applied horns, and McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers. It’s DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug, rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for compatibility with most brands, and arrives painted and printed for realistic decoration.

Designed for HO layouts, this F7A is well suited for mainline runs and yard work alike. The robust, weighty construction helps it pull trains with confidence, while the combination of all-wheel drive, precise gearing, and RP25 wheels keeps operation smooth on curves and across grades. The minimum radius is 18 inches, with a 22-inch radius recommended for best performance on tighter curves.
