LGB 20586 - Santa Fe F7 B Unit Diesel Locomotive, with Sound, Non-Powered.

20586 “Santa Fe” F7 B Unit Diesel Locomotive, with Sound, Non-Powered

Prototype: General Motors Electro Motive Division (EMD) developed an F7 diesel locomo- tive without an engineer's cab in order to in- crease the pulling power of the proven F7 A unit locomotives. This “B unit” could be coupled to one or several F7 A units. All of the locomo- tives could then be operated from a locomotive engineer in the cab of an “A unit”.

Model: This non-powered model of an F7 “B unit” painted and lettered for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (At & SF) is equipped with the famous digital LGB sound. You can hear the stepwise synchronized diesel motor sounds, the sounds of locomotive standing still (up to 30 seconds), the bell, the horn, and the sounds of brakes, all by means of the built-in speaker. Other sound functions can be controlled with the LGB multi-train control system. Reliable multi-use sockets for flat plugs are built into the unit.

Length: 60 cm / 24", weight: 2,100 grams / 4 pounds 10 ounces.

Charlie's Tip: This model is designed to be used only with LGB F7 A models. The A units, item nos. 20576 and 20577, are offered so that you can make up a prototypical A-B or A-B-A unit.
