Want a classic 1960s–70s road diesel for your layout? The Bowser Executive Line GE U25B in Chessie System (C&O) colors, equipped with DCC and sound, fits the bill. General Electric's first successful entry into the road-locomotive market, the 2,500-hp U25B was produced from 1959 and remained in service into the 1980s, running coast to coast on many railroads; several are preserved in museums today.
What sets this model apart is the attention to detail the Bowser Executive Line is known for: railroad-specific body variations, applied details, and a smooth-running drive with a can motor and dual flywheels. This version is equipped with an ESU LokSound V5 sound and DCC decoder and operates on both DCC and DC layouts (limited sound features on DC). Nickel silver wheels with RP25 flanges and knuckle couplers round out the package.
