The Lionel Milwaukee Road GP-7 No. 2338 would be issued heading up both O and O27 sets beginning in 1955, and would be available for one additional year. This engine was equipped with Magnetraction, a horn that was operated by a D Cell battery, a three position directional unit whose control lever was adjustable from underneath the chassis, and single vertical worm drive motor that powers two axles. It was lighted at both ends, and heat-stamped numbers, and a rubber-stamped railroad herald apears on the sides. There are five variations:
Variation A: Hi-gloss ORANGE body that is painted BLACK. The ORANGE band goes all the way around the shell. The RED rubber-stamped railroad herald did not adhere very well on this variation. This variation was an early production run and is rare. Numerous fraudulent examples exist that have had the BLACK paint removed from the cab of the common version (Variation D). |
