Specifications

HO Scale EMD E7 Locomotive Rapido Trains is pleased to announce a new model of EMD’s E7 passenger loco in HO scale. EMD’s first wide selling passenger diesel, 428 E7 A- units were built between 1945 and 1949, along with an additional 82 E 7Bs . The carbody utilized EMD’s bulldog nose made famous on various F-units starting from the FT while carrying over the rectangular sid e windows seen on earlier E-units. The E7 became a cornerstone of post-war passenger service and could be found at the head of many railroad’s passenger trains. Replaced by later verions like the E-8 and E-9, many E7s found themselves bumped into lower service including local passenger and even freight service. Several E7s remained in service in New Jersey commuter service past the formation of Conrail . They were scrapped in the early 1980s. Only one E7, former PRR #5901, survives, restored at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
