GE took a bold step forward, unveiling its brutish new Universal series in 1959. Production began with a 2500-horsepower, four-axle unit, known as the U25B in 1960 -- and railfans quickly nicknamed them U-boats. The success of the new series soon pushed GE into the number two spot in locomotive sales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966 a 2800-horsepower prime mover was added to create the U28B. Only 148 units were built that year. Late production units (which are the prototypes for these models) had a shorter nose and some differences in the radiator intakes, which were carried over into early U30B production. Late in 1966, GE introduced a 3000 horsepower prime mover in the U30B. Many features were carried over into the new body however later production units had revised air intakes. Total production ended at 296 units in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew \u0026amp; Better Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad-Specific Detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die cast metal underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14:1 Helical Gears for Smooth, Quiet Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-Pole Skew-Wound High-Torque High-Efficiency Can Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Speed Under 3 Scale MPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Constant \u0026amp; Directional Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Multiple Unit Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Grab Irons \u0026amp; Lift Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable With or Without Factory-Installed Tsunami Sound \u0026amp; DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) Metal Knuckle Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed to match Phase 2 U28B locomotives in service from 1968 to about 1974 with:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate U28B-Style Body With Dynamic Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie S3-Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirecracker Antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Mounted Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Radius Fixed Side Cab Windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Hand Brake Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Wind Deflectors Installed on Fireman Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-Louvered Left Side Battery Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-Color End Handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime Electronic Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowplow Installed on Front Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootboards on Rear Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAR B Style Trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
