MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

Debuting at the Chicago railroad industry equipment show in the fall of 1976, General Electric revealed the first of its Dash-7 line of locomotives, the C30-7. The locomotive was expected to replace the U30C, which at the time was GE's most successful six-axle model. Utilizing numerous design changes, the external appearance of the C30-7 differed significantly from the U30C. The most obvious of these differences were the radiator "wings" located at the back of cab and a shortened hood. But each of these improvements came about as part of GE's desire to revolutionize their diesel offerings. Ultimately, their new locomotive succeeded by becoming a favorite of the major western caul hauling roads, the Santa Fe and the N&W. Double-heading your RailKing Scale C30-7 with a non-powered "dummy" unit has never been easier. Outfitted with smooth rolling die-cast metal trucks, the non-powered C30-7 is a great way to expand your set for added realism.
