Modeling U28B's in HO Scale

By: Steve Raque

With 22 General Electric U28B 2800 HP Locomotives on it's roster, the U28B becomes an essential part of any P&LE modeler's layout circa 1966 or later. Using a production run model by Stewart, Steve Raque explains his technique for modifying and detailing, so that the end result appears more prototypical of those units of the 1970 era. He also shows an interesting approach to modeling the locomotive's internal radiator fans and points out the differences between the model and the actual locomotive.
