GE C36-7 - NORFOLK SOUTHERN #8502 DCC-SOUND ONBOARD
HO SCALE
Built between 1978 and 1989, the C36-7 was the final locomotive to be offered in General Electric’s successful “Dash 7” series. Capable of producing up to 3,750 horsepower, the majority of production C36-7s were purchased by China Railways and other overseas operations, while a number of examples were ordered for use by US, Canadian, and Mexican railroads. Mainline operation in the United States lasted through the mid-2000s, and examples can still be found today running on several short lines. Bachmann is excited to announce the first-ever consumer model of the North American C36-7 in HO scale. Featuring prototypical details, the C36-7 comes equipped with dual-mode DCC and Soundtraxx® Tsunami2TM Sound on Board®. Sounds featured include an authentic GE FDL16 prime mover, several horn and bell options, startup and shutdown, and air compressor.
