	AEM7
		The AEM7 is an electric railway locomotive used by Amtrak on its Northeast Corridor routes between Washington DC and Boston.
		A prototype design was sent to the US from Sweden in 1977.
		The first AEM7 was delivered to to Amtrak and went into service in 1979.

	Atlas Model Railroad Co. Product Review
		EMD was chosen to assemble this new engine based on ASES mechanical components and bodies built by the Budd Company.
		Its uniqueness was further bolstered by the fact that at less than 51’ in length and a weight of 101 tons, the AEM7 packed inside a whopping 7,000 horsepower, as compared to the heavier and similar length EMD F-unit diesel-electric which produced 1,500 horsepower.
		While the AEM7 may seem to have a limited appeal due to its regional confines in the Northeast, I believe many HO modelers will find it to be a rather interesting locomotive design that will be a worthy addition to their collection.

	ATLAS O - Product Reviews
		The first AEM7 went into service for Amtrak in 1979 and some 66 were delivered to Amtrak, Maryland State Railroad Association (MARC), and Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation (SEPTA).
		EMD ceased production of the AEM7 in 1988, so in 1990, when the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ Transit) went shopping for electric locomotives, it ordered 15 ALP44s that were assembled by ASEA in Sweden.
		This is due, in part, to more space within the unit’s shell for sound hardware (the AEM7 uses a two-inch speaker), and in part to the quality of the source, which Atlas O states is a prototype AEM7.

	Diesel-Electric Engine Operation - NE Rails
		The other odd model EMD produced was the DD series, which had DD trucks (4 axles, 4 traction motors per truck) These were double ended diesels, and were roughly like 2 engines put together in one.
		In the case of EMD AC locomotives, the wheels have to be matched within each truck, since all axles in each truck are powered by a separate inverter.
		Further, GE and EMD seem to both be able to sell their locomotives at about the same price, so railroads are not voting for one system over the other with their purchase dollars.

	ATLAS O - Product Reviews
		The AEM7 is the prototypical "little engine that could,." Created as Amtrak’s successor to the GG1, it had mighty big shoes to fill.
		Amtrak’s AEM7 is outwardly similar to the Swedish engine and is manufactured collaboratively by ASEA and the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD).
		The AEM7 is about the same size as an F-3 diesel, but the AEM7 has two cabs and a much shorter wheelbase, having precious little interior room for electronics.

		It entered service as the City of Los Angeles on May 15, 1936, the day after the Santa Fe introduced their first diesel-hauled, heavyweight Super Chief on the same Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California route.
		At some point after the introduction of the new EMD E1 locomotives for the City of Los Angeles, the train was reassigned to the City of Portland to replace the M-10001.
		In July 1941, the trainset was placed in storage after it was replaced on that route also.

		Atlas filled a long-standing desire of electric traction fans for the Amtrak AEM7 electric locomotive and the ALP44 with the release of their HO scale models.
		All the Amtrak units were assembled by EMD, as were most of those for SEPTA and MARC.
		The Atlas version of the AEM7 matches the dimensions of the drawings which were published in the August, 1985, issue of Railroad Model Craftsman.

		The unit was coupled up to a string of side-dump cars, and it appears that the engine and train are leased by the railroad or used by a contractor for construction purposes.

		In late 1976 and early 1977, Amtrak tested the prototype of the AEM7, a Swedish R4c.
		The first AEM7 was built at EMD at La Grange IL in mid November 1979.
		With all the weight on eight drivers, the AEM7 has the highest horsepower to weight ratio (70hp/ton) ever, coupled with a sophisticated wheelslip control (Pressductor) system.

		EMD's license was handed over to Kalmar Verkstad, of Kalmar Sweden - which is quite another firm.
		When Kalmar was bought by the then new ABB firm, which was a competitor to EMD, Kalmar lost the EMD license - as did also Henschel, of Kassel Germany, which was also bought by ABB.
		There will be no more locomotive building in Sweden; the mechanical parts for the latest AEM7 and ALP44 electrics are built in Finland, and these electrics are only assembled in Sweden.

	RAILROAD.NET :: View topic - Atlas HO AEM7 Pulling Power Performance Update
		Part of the reason why is that (and I assume most of us here have Walthers Amfleet cars) I use conducta lube on the axles of my passenger cars.
		If you combine the fact that my track conditions are less than desireable, I would say the HO AEM7 has a great deal of potential.
		For modeling purposes, the AEM7 should not have trouble pulling up to 8 Amlfeets when the cars are maintained correctly and modified somewhat.

		The GM10B was a entirely new (IE, no piecemill/rebuild) locomotive that EMD and the swedish firm ASEA (same group involved with the AEM7) built in 1976.
		The hope was that with the earlier fuel crisis that railroads would start electrifying and thrus make a market for this and its 6000HP brother, the GM6C.
		The EMD electric program wasnt totally fruitless however, the BCR GF6C's are very simular in design to the GM6C.
