Lionel No. 2338 GP-7 Locomotive is a replica of the GP-7 locomotive used by Milwaukee
Road for passenger service.
Lionel’s GP-7 Locomotive is built to run on either “O” or O27” track. The GP-7 is powered
by a single worm-drive motor driving two magne-traction axles which enable it to pull a
long string of passenger cars. The operating voltage of this locomotive is from 8 to 18 volts
depending on the train load.
LIONEL “MAGNE-TRACTION”
This locomotive is equipped with “Magne-Traction” which means that its driving wheels are
magnetized by powerful Alnico magnets inserted in the driving axles in order to grip the track
and enable the locomotive to pull heavier loads and climb steeper grades without slipping
on the track. Be careful not to let pins, paperclips, carpet tacks or other small iron objects
come in contact with the locomotive or they will be attracted to the wheels, gears, or axles
and interfere with the action of the locomotive. NOTE: “Magne-Traction” is not effective on
aluminum, brass or other non-magnetic rails. The locomotive also includes two traction tires,
which will improve traction on both magnetic and non-magnetic rails.
