Product Description

The four-axle GE B36-7 was a high-horsepower speed racer built to be the backbone of the intermodal power fleet. There were few drag freights or slow-moving manifests for these thoroughbreds in their early years. They could usually be found in multiples at the head of the hottest of hot piggyback and autorack services and the new double-stack container trains.

**The B36-7 Locomotive features: **

  • Incredible underframe detail including piping, a ridiculous number of separately-applied parts and full cab interior
  • Dead straight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions
  • A crazy level of road-specific detail options, with different pilots, anticlimbers, plows, fuel tanks, air dryers, antennas, wind deflectors, headlight locations, air conditioning units, different bodies, multiple nose and rear end styles, three versions of drop step and so on...
