The B23-7 was a direct replacement for the 2,250HP U23B model. The first units were produced for Conrail in September, 1977 (ironically, 3 months after the last U23B was delivered to Conrail). Production continued through 1984, with a total of 535 units built. Conrail was the largest purchaser of the model, with a total fleet of 141 units.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral features distinguished B23-7s from predecessor models. The long hood stepped outward in the area of the exhaust stack to accommodate a relocated oil cooler. In addition, the frame was 2 feet longer than that of the U23B. An FB-2 style truck was offered as standard equipment on B23-7s, but some railroads opted to use \"trade-in\" trucks. Therefore, AAR type B and Blomberg trucks could be found on some models. The six power assembly doors (located near the center of the long hood) indicated that the B23-7 was powered by a 12-cylinder GE FDL engine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirectional lighting\u003cbr\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003cbr\u003eDual brass flywheels\u003cbr\u003eLow-friction mechanism\u003cbr\u003eAccurate painting and lettering\u003cbr\u003eFactory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDCC Operation Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003cbr\u003eDCC includes RailCom and RailComPlus, with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps and with 2-digit and 4-digit addressing.\u003cbr\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003cbr\u003eA total of 6 DCC function outputs are available, and all can be function mapped (disable, brightness, light effects) individually\u003cbr\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eESU LokSound Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor,\u003cbr\u003edynamic brakes and more.\u003cbr\u003eThere are up to 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals.\u003cbr\u003eManual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes \"on the fly\" are provided for true realism.","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147523580201,"sku":"104220","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7882\/9865\/files\/3583bec8-cfb8-5693-ab32-5d800274d9ae.webp?v=1778460082","url":"https:\/\/nightwatchtrains.com\/products\/atlas-40-005-454-n-scale-finger-lakes-ge-b23-7-diesel-locomotive-2309-dcc-sound","provider":"Nightwatch Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
