I recently acquired a Lionel E7 6-24575. I am trying to find more information about it, specifically year built. I have done several searches and can not find this out. Anyone with information or where I can find this would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the 2013 Greenberg's guide and the 24575 is not listed, maybe it is unlisted or is brand new.
A 24574 an E-7 AA set with CC & 24577 an E-7 B are listed, made in 2006 for UP.

You don't tell us the road name or box description, my guess is it is part of the
6-24574 Union Pacific set from around 2005/2006 era. Do you have both units? It is an A-A set
I have the NYC version. Here is the link to the Lionel product description.
I remember these where heavily criticized for the wrong pilots. For some reason Lionel put the E-6 pilots on them and w/o a front coupler.
So How do they sound?
I have the UP B unit but the UP AA units keep eluding me.
The rare version is the Pennsylvania E-7 's in Legacy.
The UP and NYC versions were TMCC. in 2006 vol 2 catalog. The B&O and Prr Versions were Legacy and were in the 2007 vol 2 catalog. There were powered Bs unpowered Bs and Breakdown Bs . The criticisms of these locomotives were mainly with details including the pilot style, windshield wipers, rake of the nose and with a lot of discussion, the height of the body over the trucks. I believe the NYC bersion was almost Black and light grey , more like the freight colors which would be incorrect. l
They also did the Texas Special as a boxed passenger train set and the B&O.
