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.

Dieselize your HO empire like your favorite prototype! Made just for Pennsylvania fans, Walthers makes it easy to add A-B-A sets of EP-3s (E7s) to your roster, with models from the second order delivered in August 1947. Signature Pennsy details include a complete Trainphone antenna, original style pilot and single airhorn on the engineer's side of the cab. Beautifully finished in Dark Green Locomotive Enamel, the signature gold leaf pin stripes don't cover the windows, just as the prototypes appeared after a few months in service. Superbly printed renditions of the PRR Keystone and trust plates round out the authentic lettering.
