All - Some interesting recent developments at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/u25cproject/. Kaslo Shops has taken the Jeff Briggs project over and is working with us - in the running for the re-power kit and is planning a complete HO model. Also, since the Atlas release of the Trainmaster another repower option (albeit right now a rather expensive one) has emerged. The TM has the same truck and wheel spacing as the U25C / U28C and could be used by replacing the truck sideframes with the old Rivarossi ones. Finally, looks like this week will be the week we approach NWSL for another repower kit option. Will post results of that conversation soon. Please join us if you are interested. We've had to lock the group down somewhat because of SPAM but if you want to join just indicate in the space that you saw this post on Trainboard and want to follow what we are doing. Look forward to seeing you in the Group! Gif...U25C Project Moderator
I've tried to get on the Yahoo group "U25C" and either I'm still too new to this computer usage, or the site doesn't like me - probably the former. About thirty years ago, got a deal on these U25C's in Seaboard Coast Line and with the use of decals, turned them into ACL 3000 series U25C's. Didn't care for the deep flanges, but thought at the time that the units themselves were decent enough looking and running on code 100. Did/does anyone have replacement wheelsets for these units? Is this what you all are working on? Ran across one of these units the other night, and I still like 'em, so gentlemen, if at all possible - keep us up to date here on "Trainboard". I know I'm interested.
