With new roadnames and prototype-specific detail, Walthers is pleased to introduce the latest run of HO Scale PROTO 2000 E7 passenger diesels.

Fast Facts: When EMD was given the green light to build new passenger diesels in early 1945, it unveiled an improved version of the successful E6, designated the E7. A pair of 567A prime movers, rated at 2000 total horsepower, now supplied power. Most of the notable changes were seen on the body and included a new and much smaller bulldog nose, as well as a large, vertical louver or screen panels directly behind the cab doors. Introduced just as American railroads began upgrading and rebuilding passenger service, the E7 was the most successful passenger diesel ever built, with 428 A units and 82 cabless B units produced through April of 1949 when the E8 was introduced.

Features: Retooled to match the Phase I body, the models are offered in standard DC or DCC & Sound versions, complete with a variety of railroad-specific details. In addition, each includes:

• See-Through Air Intake Grilles
• Helical Gears for Ultra-Quiet & Smooth Running
• Superb Paint & Lettering
• Authentic Bulldog Nose
• Painted Metal Grab Irons, Handrails & Lift Rings
• Five-Pole, Skew-Wound, High-Torque, High-Efficiency Can Motor
• PROTO-Max™ Metal Knuckle Couplers
