New Road Names & Paint Schemes!

 

 

(Technical artwork shown)

Powered by a V12 FDL prime mover, the 2250 h.p. U23B was GE's intermediate-sized four-axle road-switcher of the late 1960s through the mid 1970s. The U23B's direct competitor during this period was the very successful EMD GP38. In 10 years of production from 1968 through 1977 a total of 481 units were produced, making this the second best seller of GE's "Universal Series" locomotives. The first units were delivered to the Delaware & Hudson in August and September 1968. CSX predecessors Chesapeake & Ohio and Louisville & Nashville had a combined fleet of 120 units, giving CSX one of the larger active fleets in later years. Penn Central, Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific also purchased sizeable fleets of U23Bs.

Primary spotting features include a stepped-out radiator section and two sets of three tall engine access doors near the center of the long hood. During production, the U23B was equipped with various truck side frames, including Blomberg trucks from EMD trade-in locomotives, AAR-style trucks, or GE's own four-axle "FB2" truck. One of these three truck styles is included on our model where appropriate per road name.

Today the number of active U23Bs has dwindled, but a handful can still be found working for short lines and regional railroads in North America.

Standard MSRP:
$104.95
Decoder-Equipped MSRP: $139.95
Estimated Delivery:
September 2007

Features:

  • Operational low nose headlight (used where appropriate)
  • Both DCC ready and DCC equipped versions
  • Separate coupler cut lever
  • Cab with 4 or 2 side windows (as appropriate per road name)
  • Directional lighting

New Paint Schemes!

(HO model shown)

In 1974, ACF built the first box car for Railbox, a subsidiary of the Trailer Train Company. They went on to produce 5,400 50 cars over the next six years, receiving large orders from Class I railroads, shortlines and box car leasing companies. These box cars have a 50' 6" interior length designed to fit slightly larger Plate C dimensions. This yielded a capacity of nearly 5,300 cubic feet. Most of the cars were built with non-cushioned underframes.
Standard MSRP: $9.95
Undecorated MSRP: $7.95
Estimated Delivery: September 2007

Features:

  • Prototypical non-terminating corrugated ends
  • Diagonal paneled roof
  • Single 10-foot YSD design sliding door (non-operating)
  • Detailed cross-member attachment rivets on the side sills
  • Weighted, detailed underframes
