Paragon(TM) Series Diesel EMD E7A-B Set Powered w/Quantum(TM) Sound -- Illinois Central #4012 & 4102

The E7 was the diesel most railroads chose to lead their new postwar streamliners. Introduced in 1945, it retained the square windows and air intakes found on earlier models, but an additional grille behind the cab and the bulldog nose (introduced on the F units) gave it a unique appearance. The E7 proved to be the best seller of the series, with 428 built through 1949. From the correct "bulldog" nose to the full cab interior to the authentic paint and lettering, these models will be a welcome addition to any HO streamliner fleet. Each is detailed to match its as-built appearance and includes the correct style of numberboards as used by its prototype. Constant intensity directional lighting and a powerful can motor are standard equipment too. Matching B units are available separately for the roads that owned them.
