The Union Pacific shattered the tradition of boring black locomotives with its eye-grabbing yellow designs, like the one on this F7-A diesel from the Electro Motive Division of General Motors. Boasting 1,500 horsepower and a handsome "Bulldog" nose, the F7 was and still is the classic icon of diesel railroading in America. You can add the UP´s bold livery to your layout with this big LGB model. Two Bühler-powered trucks provide remarkable pulling power. Add an F7 "B-unit" (23582) for authentic digital sound.
