Description

Details

The Milwaukee Road used a total of three different locomotives to pull the consist between Chicago and Olympia, WA in the early 50's - two electrics (used on electrified portions of the journey) and the EMD FP7 - a specialized variation of the F7A which was lengthened to accommodate a larger water reservoir for its steam generators (a necessity for long distance passenger service like that of the Olympian Hiawatha).

While E units could also have filled this role (and did, in later years), their A1A truck design (spreading their weight and giving them less traction) made them less than ideal for handling the steep grades of the Milwaukee's route through the Rocky Mountains.

Single FP7A locomotive, #95C, to accompany the FP7A and F7B two-pack when used with the Milwaukee Road Olympian Hiawatha Coach Set. This locomotive is fitted with a DCC Installed Printed Circuit Board.

Features:

  • Powerful Kato mechanism powered by a 5-pole flywheel motor and featuring a 9 3/4" minimum turning radius.
  • Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards.
  • DCC Fitted
