In fact, more F7s were built than all other F units combined. It succeeded the F3 model in GM-EMDs F unit sequence, and was replaced in turn by the F9. Final assembly was at GM-EMDs La Grange, Illinois plant or GMDs London, Ontario facility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe F7 differed from the F3 primarily in internal equipment (mostly electrical) and some external features. Its continuous tractive effort rating was 20% higher (e.g. 40,000 lb (18,000 kg) for an F7 with 65 mph (105 km\/h) gearing, compared to 32,500 lb (14,700 kg) for an F3 with the same gearing.) A total of 2,366 cab-equipped lead A units and 1,483 cabless-booster or B units were built. Many F7s remained in service for decades, as railroads found them economical to operate and maintain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEATURES \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eNEW Paragon3 Sound \u0026amp; Operation System FEATURING ROLLING THUNDERTM with Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environment \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eLocomotive Composition: ABS Body with Die Cast Chassis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eCouplers: (2) Operating Kadee or Compatible \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eCompatible Tracks: Code 70, 83, 100 Rail \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1em;\"\u003eMinimum Operating Radius: 18 in or greater \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BLI (Broadway Limited Imports)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37652116013222,"sku":"BLI4861","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/bli-4861-ho-scale-emd-f7a-ph1-pennsylvania-prr-9673b-with-dcc-and-sound.png?v=1611731252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/bli-4861-ho-scale-emd-f7a-ph1-pennsylvania-prr-9673b-with-dcc-and-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
