PROTOTYPE HISTORY The Aristo-Craft GE U25-B Diesel Locomotive is an accurate reproduction of the U25-B Diesel Loco built by General Electric (GE) Transportation Systems Division of Erie, PA. Starting in April 1960, with the introduction of the ‘test unit’ #751-752, GE began the ‘high horsepower’ diesel locomotive tradition that still exists today. After polling results from testing on major USA railroads, GE modified its design the next year and built “demonstrator” #2501-2504 in the familiar ‘low-nose’ version. On run on the Pennsylvania RR’s piggyback hotshot TT-2 from Pittsburgh, PA to Kearny, NJ, the trip was successful, and, within a few months, GE received orders from the Union Pacific RR and the rest is history. GE built 476 of these 2500 h.p. diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA and Mexico.
The pair of these is $299.00 I have transformers and an incredible assortment of cars to add to the loco. Call Greg at 845 651 1903- no e mails

It's amazing how Brian, the "Forum Idiot", couldn't wait to post a bullsh*t comment. Don't you have anything better to do with your time than to play fake policeman with other people's posts? I guarantee you're way too cheap to buy anything that's posted on here anyway. MYOFB !
