Introduced by General Electric in late 1976, the Dash-7 line bundled dozens of internal updates to the Universal series, with two visible tells: a wider hood section ahead of the radiators and the protruding radiator wings. Rapido brings the Phase III B23-7, B30-7 and B36-7 to HO scale for the first time, along with the B30-7A and its cabless versions, with correct contours, accurate dimensions and an underbody of rarely seen density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model depicts the high-hood B23-7 of Lhoist North America, ex-Norfolk Southern units in industrial service for the lime producer, with ditch lights. Rapido reproduces the railroad-specific detail arrangement, with a factory-installed ESU LokSound DCC and sound decoder and the Mo-Power system. Two road numbers are offered.
