      Who else bought U25C's? I cannot think of many.
      Nice work so far--what's the part list? Obviously, a U25B, but what's the hood section from?

      Atlantic Coast Line, CB & Q, Lake Superior & Ishpeming, L & N, NP, Oro Dam Constructors and Pennsy.
      Rear section from Kato U25B (Chinese one too narrow - so is the Kato one but it looks better)
      Main shell is a U30C from Kato.
      Graft in the U25B front short doors in front of the 8 full length doors. Chop out one door before this and add a small styrene filler. Add some brass doors with cutouts backed with gauze. The nose is tricky not sure how that's gonna come out. U25B cab sinks into nose. U30C cab has wrong front windows. Grafting in U25B cab front would be worse than reshaping the nose. Use part of the anitclimbers from the U25B and graft onto the U30C front. Remake the battery boxes on both sides. Use the U25B rear handrails and the U30C front handrail parts. There's more stuff but I haven't worked it all out yet.

      Thanks for the rundown--NP paint would be perfect!
