GE U28B/U30B - Standard DC -- SCL #1707 (green, yellow)
Bring classic GE muscle to your layout with the HO Scale WalthersProto GE U28B and U30B. Developed in 1966 to directly compete with similar second-generation offerings from EMD and Alco, the U28B and U30B have gone on to become one of the most iconic of GE's "U-Boats". Featuring updated tooling, these models include numerous road-specific details such as headlight placement, mars/gyralights as appropriate, accurate air horn details, wire grab irons, etched metal walkways, and appropriate Blomberg or AAR trucks. These models are also available with standard DC including a factory-installed speaker and 21-pin DCC plug, or with ESU DCC and Sound. A heavy die-cast metal underframe, ultra-smooth drive, warm white LED headlights, and ProtoMAX™ metal knuckle couplers make for a powerful and reliable locomotive capable of handling any freight assignment you give it.
