Great for railroads that preferred four-axle diesels for their passenger runs, prototypes for the WalthersProto EMD FP7 came equipped with more boiler water capacity on their stretched chassis. Providing enough steam to power train heat and some air conditioning systems on postwar trains taxed the standard water supply of standard EMD F7 A units set-up for passenger service, prompting EMD to roll out the new FP7 in 1949. Though outwardly similar to the F7A, FP7s were actually four feet longer to accommodate bigger water tanks with a capacity of 950 US gallons. Standard passenger power into the Amtrak era and beyond (with some also handling freight chores), these WalthersProto HO EMD FP7 replicas are fully assembled and ready for service with: One time run of these roadnumbers, order now - limited quantity available!

The EMD F3 is a 1,500 horsepower diesel locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1945 and 1949. The F3 was the third model in EMD's successful F-unit series of cab unit diesels, and it was the second most produced of the series behind the F7. The F3's were widely used in both freight and passenger service, and in total, EMD built more than 1,100 A-units and almost 700 B-units. In this production, we are modeling A and B-units from eight railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers and paint schemes. We are offering A-B sets with Powered A-units (w/ Paragon4 Sound) and unpowered B-units, and also separate single A and B-units (where appropriate) with our full Paragon4 DC/DCC/Sound system. All of our models have road-specific details and lighting. Road-specific detail options in this production, prototypically accurate for each road name: Pilot prototypical for paint scheme Operating Mars Light where prototypical Small horizontal and Large 45-degree numberboards Prototypical horn Water fill hatch location Sand fill hatch location Dynamic brake where prototypical Cooling fans and exhaust hatch accurate per each prototype Winterization hatch present where prototypically accurate Multiple MU door options on front of model Multiple skirt options above fuel tank Ladder rest grab irons present where prototypically accurate Grab iron ladder present where prototypically accurate Eyebrow grab irons present where prototypically accurate Grab irons above cab side windows where prototypically accurate Roof antenna present and correct where prototypically accurate Front and Rear lift lug present where accurate Nose door number plate present where accurate Trainphone antenna present where accurate   Industry-leading Model Features: Paragon4 Sound & Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER Integral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC Precision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed Operation All Wheel Electrical Pick-up ABS Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort Premium Caliber Painting Prototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers Many Separately Applied Details such as Grab Irons, Horns, and Bell Prototypical Light Operation Prototypically Accurate Sounds for the EMD F3 Diesel Locomotive MicroTrains-compatible Couplers (2) Will Operate on Code 55, Code 70 and Code 80 Rail Minimum Operating Radius: 9 inches   Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
