General Electric’s first six axle diesel, the U25C, made its debut in 1963. During a two year production run 113 units were built spread out over seven owners. The Northern Pacific rostered the largest fleet with 30 units, closely followed by Atlantic Coast Line with 21 units and Pennsylvania with 20 units. The Louisv ille and Nashville received 18 units originally and subsequently added the 10 surviving units of the 13 built for Oro Dam Constructors. The Burlington purchased 12 units and the Lake Superior and Ishpeming had 2 units. Through eventual mergers and sales, the U25C came to wear the colors of Burlington Northern, Penn Central, Conrail, Seaboard Coast Line, Family Lines and NdeM.
In the 1960s, Rivarossi set the bar high for HO diesel locomotive models with its release of the U25C. The detail and quality was well ahead of its time. Now after 47 years Rivarossi has decided to reset that bar announcing the all new Rivarossi model of the General Electric U25C. This new model of the U25C has been licensed by and developed with full co-operation of General Electric. This new release will incorporate all new state-of-the art tooling with the following features:
· Heavy metal die-cast chassis
· 5 pole can motor w/flywheels
· NMRA RP-25 wheel profile
· Authentic road name, lettering and road numbers
· Road specific detailing and lighting configuration
· Separately applied detail parts: horns, bell, handrails, grab irons, and snowplows (if appropriate)
· Available in DCC Ready and DCC/Sound versions
Licensed by and developed with the cooperation of General Electric.
