The approved design for what became the AEM-7 was from a Swedish company, ASEA, and was built starting in 1978 by EMD, utilizing original bodies by Budd, with the remaining components imported from Sweden. Amtrak’s original order for 47 units was delivered between 1980 and 1982, with an additional seven in 1988. By the early 90’s, a variant of this locomotive, the ALP-44, was produced for New Jersey Transit. All units have since been retired, but, like their GG1 predecessor, examples of both the AEM-7 and ALP-44 have been saved through donations to rail museums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver their years of service, Amtrak applied numerous paint schemes, and both Amtrak and NJT added ditchlights to their units, which are featured in this release. The alternate history PRR “heritage scheme” is an adaptation of the original pre-Lowey GG1 design from 1934, and is included as an homage to the history of electric locomotive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating pantographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating head lights and marker lights which are directional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior with painted crew members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAstounding roof detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold versions will be equipped with ESU sound\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual \u0026amp; Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided for true realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54379361337557,"sku":"ATL10004646","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/atlas-10004646-ho-scale-alp-44-amtrak-phase-iv-amtk-911-with-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1785347193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/atlas-10004646-ho-scale-alp-44-amtrak-phase-iv-amtk-911-with-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
