F-7 ABA diesel set w\/Proto-Sound 3.0 (scale wheels), Pennsylvania. Cab numbers: A units - 9774 \u0026amp; 9831, B unit - 9764B. The F7 was the zenith of the covered wagon, or carbody-style diesel. With 3,849 units built between 1949 and 1953, the F7 was both the most popular carbody diesel and its last hurrah. By 1954 U.S. railroads had virtually stopped ordering F-units in favor of hood units like EMD's GP9 and Alco's RS-3. The side walkways of hood units offered better access for maintenance and better visibility for backup moves, making them truly universal locomotives useful for both mainline runs and road switching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExternally, the F7 was very similar to the earlier F3. The key spotting features that distinguished an F7 were its stainless steel upper body grilles that replaced the chicken wire worn by most F3s, and the rooftop dynamic brake fan that replaced the F3's rectangular roof vents just behind the cab. Internally, the F7 was also an evolution of the F3. While horsepower was the same, new D27 traction motors allowed the F7 to handle a heavier load.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapture the excitement of the first-generation diesel era with this four-motored, full-scale model. Throttle down to speeds as low as 3 scale miles per hour with any load, or roll along at the prototype's maximum speed of 102 mph with passenger gearing. Proto-Sound 3.0 offers authentic EMD 567 prime mover sounds, a first-generation diesel horn and bell, crew and station sounds, and adjustable smoke volume. The F7 features the same level of superb detailing that characterizes all Premier F-units, with added-on details that include legible builder's plates, grab irons, multiple-unit hoses, rooftop lift rings, see-through side grilles and rooftop fan housings, steam generator exhaust stack (for passenger versions), windshield wipers, and our super-detailed Blomberg trucks with separately-applied spring hangers, brake cylinders, and air pipes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid You Know? \u003cbr\u003eBeginning in 1949, 3716 F-7 units were produced for 49 U.S. and Canadian railroads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003e1:48 scale proportions\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled headlights\u003cbr\u003eIntricately detailed ABS bodies\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels, axles and gears\u003cbr\u003eMetal chassis\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails\u003cbr\u003eTwo precision flywheel equipped motors\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eProto-Scale 3-2 3-rail\/2-rail conversion capable\u003cbr\u003eLighted cab interiors\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eLighted marker lights\u003cbr\u003eTwo engineer cab figures in each A unit\u003cbr\u003eMoveable roof fan blades\u003cbr\u003eTwo operating smoke units\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast truck sides\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast fixed pilots\u003cbr\u003eKadee compatible coupler mounting pads \u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: freight yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 40 1\/4 x 2 5\/8 x 3 3\/4\u003cbr\u003eOperates on 31 radius curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/horn\u003cbr\u003eStart up\/shut down\u003cbr\u003eRear coupler\u003cbr\u003eFront coupler\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSound volume\u003cbr\u003eDitch lights auto\/on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing signal\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot Doppler\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-Clack auto\/off\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
