Model Railroading > Model U25 B - rookie needs guidanceDate: 07/16/07 09:16 Model U25 B - rookie needs guidance Author: u216smc I'm looking for a U25B with a GE demo paint job & logos. I'm looking for a display model only to show with my vintage construction equipment models. I need something close to a 1:50 scale. Any ideas?

The U25B demos were mostly high hood which I do not believe has ever been offerred. There may have been a couple of low nose demos later on. The GE demo decals will also be a challenge to find. Atlas makes a nice O Scale GP35 model if you can get over the idea of a GE.
