New Kato 176-2212 N Santa Fe Yellow Bonnet EMD F7B Diesel Locomotive – Your Source for Gaming Essentials Trains

Description

This is Kato 176-2212 N Santa Fe Yellow Bonnet EMD F7B Diesel Locomotive. In the early years of Amtrak service, when the Santa Fe was transitioning to a freight-only business, Amtrak was reliant on leased motive power for pulling its trains. The Santa Fe, wanting to differentiate their equipment that was to be used on the new Amtrak trains, began repainting the F7s destined for Amtrak use in a new Yellow bonnet scheme. Few locomotives received this scheme, their service on Amtrak was brief, and many of these Yellow bonnets were returned to the Santa Fe for freight use after 1973.

Its key features are:
Powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels
Fully automatic magnetic knuckle couplers
Drop-in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K0D8 series and Digitrax DN163K0B
