920-49546, WalthersProto - EMD FP7 & F7B Standard DC - HO scale

Chesapeake & Ohio #8005 & 8505 (As-delivered). Providing enough steam to power train heat and some air conditioning systems on postwar trains taxed the standard water supply of EMD F7 A units set-up for passenger service, prompting EMD to roll out the new FP7 in 1949. Though outwardly similar to the F7A, FP7s were actually four feet longer to accommodate bigger water tanks with a capacity of 950 US gallons.
