Based on updated units in service from 1952 to 1955, these WalthersProto replicas are ideal for Twin Cities Hiawatha service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProviding enough steam to power train heat and some air conditioning systems on postwar trains taxed the standard water supply of EMD F units set-up for passenger service, prompting EMD to rollout the new FP7 in 1949. Though outwardly similar, FP7s were actually four feet longer to accommodate bigger water tanks with a capacity of 950 US gallons. Standard passenger power into the Amtrak era and beyond (with some also handling freight chores), these WalthersProto replicas are fully assembled and ready for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew tooling matches the prototypes extended frame and body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with ESU LokSound 5 Sound \u0026amp; DCC for DCC and DC layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRailroad-specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition - one-time run of these engine numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole, skew-wound, high-torque, high-efficiency can motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical gears with 14:1 ratio for smooth, ultra-quiet running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy multiple-unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathan M5 five-chime air horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScreen-type spark arrestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof-mounted oil cooler w\/cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMD-style winterization hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal etched grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal side louvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial body skirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin sealed-beam headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking rear back-up light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMars Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnob-style sand hatch covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate-style water fill covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab wind deflectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle steam generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo dynamic brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walthers Proto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44063192907989,"sku":"920-42508","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/walthers-proto-920-42508-ho-scale-emd-fp7-diesel-milw-99c-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1678727775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/walthers-proto-920-42508-ho-scale-emd-fp7-diesel-milw-99c-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
