F-7 A\/B set (DCC ready), Santa Fe (Yellow Warbonnet). A unit number: 304; B unit number: 342B. Manufactured by the Electro-Motive division of GM (EMD) from 1949 to 1953, the F-7 was a welcome relief to the strict guidelines set in place by the War Production Board during WWII. By 1945 the war had ended and the restrictions were lifted. EMD took advantage of having no limitations on supplies and released their F-series locomotives that same summer. The EMD F-7 shared the same smooth faced pilots and coupler shrouds as the earlier F3, the only noticeable difference between the two was the F-7's modified primary internal equipments, and the replacement of the F-3's chicken wire grilles with stainless steel upper body grilles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 1500hp diesel electric locomotive worked hard to meet industry demand after the four years of restriction during the war. Universally associated with North American railroads until the 1970's, EMD's F-7 continued to be used for decades as railroads found them inexpensive to operate and maintain. Originally introduced as a freight-hauling unit, by EMD, the F-7 was also frequently used in passenger service. The F-7 wound up being the best selling carbody-style diesel EMD ever produced, selling over 3,700 units to 49 different railroads. They stayed in service until 1970 and assured itself a place in the railroad record books as a triumph of diesel productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eM.T.H. is proud to offer the drama of this postwar locomotive in HO scale.
