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 unveiled.
From "Adventureland" to "Zephyr," take your favorite train to a new level
of realism with Walthers CB&Q E7s! These amazing PROTO 2000(R) HO models
feature stainless steel side panels (modeled using our real metal finish) and
silver-painted cab, roof and underframe to perfectly capture the two-tone
appearance of the prototypes. And that's only the beginning - other
Burlington-specific details include large and small forward-facing
airhorns, signature air intake grilles printed in red on the nose, working
Mars light, larger exhaust stacks, spark arrestor on the steam generator
exhaust, a blanked panel covering the air intake on the fireman's side of
the cab, correct open pilot, E7 model plates printed on the cab sides, full
nose grabs, and partial fuel and water tank skirts.
