Product Description
Production: 1962 & 1963
History
The 2365 Chesapeake & Ohio GP7 diesel was produced for only two years in the early 1960s. It's few features and rather plain looking colors have made this an unexciting diesel to the operators. Collectors are more interested in nice quality examples of this engine -- however, when found, most are in less than collector quality.
Lionel did little to promote the Chesapeake & Ohio GP7 diesel as it was the lead locomotive for only one catalogued freight set in 1962 and none in 1963.
Features
The 2338 Chesapeake & Ohio contains the following standard features: yellow frame with a blue painted shell containing yellow letters and numbers, three position E-unit, two-axle magnetraction, non-operating front and rear couplers, headlight at each end plus a simulated horn on each side of the shell.
This diesel does not contain a functional horn or simulated fuel tanks below the frame.
