About the Great Northern F7A/B
A and B Units:
In railroad Terminology, an A unit is the more commonly understood locomotive
design, featuring a crew cab. B units lack a crew compartment and therefore are
driven from a coupled locomotive with a cab. B units were often referred to as
"booster" units, as their purpose was to supplement the pulling power of an A
unit.
Prototype Information:
The F-Unit is probably the most recognized diesel locomotive in
North American history. It was found on railroads from East to West and North to
South. Similar in appearance to its predecessor, the EMD F3, the EMD F7 was a 1500 hp multi-purpose
locomotive. Although originally promoted as a freight-hauling unit by EMD, the
F7 was also used in passenger service hauling such trains such as the Santa Fe Super Chief and the Great Northern Empire
Builder. The F7 was the fourth model in GM-EMD's highly successful F-unit
series, and was for a long time (until the introduction of the EMD SD40-2 freight unit) was the best selling
Diesel-electric locomotive ever made.
Model Information:
The Kato EMD F7 comes in both A and B (cabless) variations, and
is retooled from earlier variations of the F-unit locomotive chassis to make it
DCC friendly. Passenger units can be identified by their Steam Generators vs.
freight units which lack this detail.
Model Features:
- DCC friendly mechanism
- A-unit LED has directional headlight and illuminated number
boards
- Locomotives have a powerful five pole motor with all wheel
electrical pickup and blackened wheels
- KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
