Body Shell for AEM7 Electric Locomotive. Shell represents units as-built. Air conditioners for cab roofs and roof-mounted large brake resistor grid housing are available separately on this Store. This shell is not designed to fit any specific N scale mechanism, but the truckbase of the prototype is 25' 7". Fleischmann makes an N scale SJ Rc4 electric that was the prototype for the AEM7, and this would of course provide a nice accurate drive and trucks, but this model is not cheap and may only be available through European model train importers in the USA. Suitable N scale pantographs are available from several makers, including Sommerfeldt and Bachmann.

Great design. The printing quality of Shapeways has improved significantly since my last order of a E44. Primed with #1200, wet sanded then it is looks just like a well-molded resin shell. I have used a new KATO ED79 as a powered chassis. Mechanically, the three ED79 chassis ranks: latest release KATO > TOMIX > old KATO. All require some work in install DCC. I heard KATO F3 chassis works too.
