Any idea year this was made?

be careful of those triac's. they tend to melt under high power shorts.

Early 1980's anywhere form 1982-1984

BTW, This custom f7 that I did came from that same timeframe...abeit a single motored unit from the PRR passenger set.

The body shells are ex-Kusan EMD F7 tooling, with the Kusan "humpback" problem resolved (why Kusan did that, I don't know), but still having the improper (for an EMD) nose contours. They're cute, though - and look more prototypical around the windshield

than the Lionel-copy F3's.

Modern, improved (same underneath as the F3's, I guess; flywheels and so on) iterations of these F7's are still being offered and or made - or have been only recently retired? 

I bought a set like yours.....look MUCH better when chassis is painted black or body color.

Remember when the diesels came with only a bridge rectifier? You could add a mechanical E unit but that was a super secret at the time.  So much so that the ink on my 'mimeographed' dealer instruction sheet disappeared.
