*GE 12cyl 7FDL Dash-7 (FT)*

Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!
MUST use LokProgrammer Version 4.4.21 or newer

The GE B23-7 diesel locomotive was first offered in late 1977. Featuring a smaller 12 cylinder version of the FDL engine, it is the successor to GE's U23B produced from early 1968 to mid 1977, but at 62 ' 2" long, the B23-7 is exactly 2' 0" longer than the firms U23B. The B23-7 competed with the very successful EMD GP38-2. General Electric also produced a variant, the BQ23-7, for the Seaboard Coast Line. A total of 537 B23-7's were built for 9 U.S. customers and 2 Mexican customers.

This sound file is appropriate for the following locomotives:
B23-7
BQ23-7
B30-7A
C30-7A

Unlike our 75405 Early 12cyl 7FDL which is correct for The "U-Series" locomotives, this 12cyl 7FDL is more appropriate for the "Dash-7 Series" of GE locomotives. We will also release a "Dash-8 Series" in the near future.

While this prime mover is not completely accurate for the following locomotives it would also be an suitable alternative to break up the monotony on your railroad.

U18D
U20C
U23B
U23C
U26C

Dash 8-32B (B32-8)
Dash 8-32C (C32-8)

While the following are HEP equipped you could also use this for:

Dash 8-32BHW
P32-8WH
P32AC-DM


As with all SELECT decoders there are up to 16 separate horns, 2 separate brake squeals and 2 bells included on this one sound profile! All changeable using CV48.
