Walthers Proto 920-49561 | EMD FP7 - Standard DC / DCC Ready - Southern Pacific(TM) #6459 | HO Scale

Providing enough steam to power train heat and some air conditioning systems on postwar trains taxed the standard water supply of EMD F7 A units set-up for passenger service, prompting EMD to rollout 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 replicas are fully assembled and ready for service with:
