The B23-7 was a direct replacement for the 2,250HP U23B model. The first units were produced for Conrail in September, 1977 (ironically, 3 months after the last U23B was delivered to Conrail). Production continued through 1984, with a total of 535 units built. Conrail was the largest purchaser of the model, with a total fleet of 141 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral features distinguished B23-7s from predecessor models. The long hood stepped outward in the area of the exhaust stack to accommodate a relocated oil cooler. In addition, the frame was 2 feet longer than that of the U23B. An FB-2 style truck was offered as standard equipment on B23-7s, but some railroads opted to use “trade-in” trucks. Therefore, AAR type B and Blomberg trucks could be found on some models. The six power assembly doors (located near the center of the long hood) indicated that the B23-7 was powered by a 12-cylinder GE FDL engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual brass flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate painting and lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Operation Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY):\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC includes RailCom and RailComPlus, with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps and with 2-digit and 4-digit addressing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA total of 6 DCC function outputs are available, and all can be function mapped (disable, brightness, light effects) individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESU LokSound Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY):\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\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 up to 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual and 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\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43240176845013,"sku":"ATL40005469","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/atlas-gold-40005469-n-scale-ge-b30-7-southern-pacific-speed-lettering-sp-7823-dcc-loksound.jpg?v=1655913968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/atlas-gold-40005469-n-scale-ge-b30-7-southern-pacific-speed-lettering-sp-7823-dcc-loksound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
