Unveiled in 1949, the EMD GP7 was the first North American road switcher to feature a hood unit design with exterior walkways, rather than the more traditional car body style. Appearing radically different from its predecessors, 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. Today, 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 arrives ready for the DCC decoder of your choice with an 8-pin socket and features directional lighting, authentic detail, and a varied selection of prototypical paint schemes. Take control of the EMD locomotive that started a legacy with the HO scale Bachmann GP7.

Notice Regarding Our Conrail EMD GP7, Item No. 69103:


It has come to our attention that the Conrail paint scheme is represented incorrectly on the right side of our EMD GP7 advertised in the previous edition of this newsletter. We take matters such as this very seriously, as we always strive to represent the railroads portrayed on our models as they appear in reality. To rectify this issue, we are recalling all dealer stock of this locomotive to be reworked with the correct paint scheme. Customers who have purchased our Conrail GP7 (Item No. 69103) can return their locomotive to the retailer from which it was purchased for a full refund.
