Add an important piece of post-war diesel history to your collection with this Union Pacific GP7 diesel engine model. The GP7 was a landmark design for EMD, recognized as the first EMD road locomotive to use a hood-unit layout instead of the earlier car-body style seen on locomotives like the F-units.

Built for practical railroad work, the GP7 gave crews better forward and rear visibility, making it especially valuable in freight and switching service. Its rugged, versatile design helped launch EMD’s famous GP, or “General Purpose,” series:  a line so popular among railroads that these locomotives became widely known as “Geeps.”

With Union Pacific among the major railroads associated with this classic road-switcher era, this model is a strong choice for collectors who appreciate the transition from early diesel streamliners to the hardworking locomotives that reshaped American freight railroading.
