EMD GP7 - Standard DC -- Amtrak #760 (MOW Scheme; silver, black)

This Bachmann HO Scale EMD GP7 was the first North American EMD road switcher to feature a hood unit design with exterior walkways, rather than the more traditional car body style. Unveiled in 1949, the Geep, as it would become known to railroaders, was a resounding success offering better performance and reliability than many of its contemporaries. This success would secure EMD's place as the clear leader in the competitive diesel locomotive market and the external appearance of their products would continue to feature hallmarks first seen on the GP7 for almost 50 years. In the 2020s and beyond, the reliability of this classic diesel continues to be proven, with examples remaining in operation on short-line freight railroads across North America and in excursion service at numerous museums and tourist railroads. The Bachmann HO Scale GP7 is ready for the DCC decoder of your choice with an eight-pin socket, directional LED lighting, authentic detail, and a varied selection of prototypical paint schemes. This model features an injection-molded body, fine decoration, RP25 contour wheels for operation on Code 70 and larger rail and E-Z Mate(R) Mark II knuckle couplers. It performs best on 18" or larger radius curves. The EMD GP7 is one of many Bachmann HO Scale locomotives.
