Early 1990 brings Atlas' introduction of its HO-scale
EMD GP7 diesel. The model debuts at the 1989 Chicago Model Hobby Show. After spending the mid/late 1980s exploring ALCO's
line, Atlas brings out its first HO-scale EMD prototype since the 1970s.
Atlas has offered multiple roadnumbers per roadname on
a few select releases up to its GP7, but this is the first occasion of a product run that included multiple numbers for
all roadnames. Though common today, it was a new concept in 1990. Atlas' GP7 was produced in two variations,
with and without Dynamic Brakes.
This geep was the final loco made by Kato in
Japan and sold by Atlas. Kato would enter the
American HO-scale diesel market under its own name in 1991 with an SD-40 release.
A review of the first Atlas GP7 release may be found in the February 1990 Model
Railroder. Jim Hediger's review notes, "The new Atlas unit is a perfect match to the overall dimensions of the prototype."
The magazine pictures the Atlas GP7 decorated for Clinchfield #902.
