PIKO 38152 North Pole Hauler Starter Set with R/C controller
The GE 25-Ton diesel locomotives are small, two-axle industrial diesel
switching locomotives. They were procured by many railroads and
shortlines in North America, starting before the Second World War, as
American railroads began converting from steam to diesel power. General
Electric started in 1938 with the construction of small diesel-electric
locomotives. From this point on, these compact locomotives were
used on both standard and narrow-gauge lines for local switching service
and operation in industrial plants. All GE-built 25-Ton locomotives had
a Cummins 150 hp diesel engine turning a generator, which powered a
traction motor on a single axle. The other axle was connected via
chain-drive.
The locos were known for their excellent pulling
power compared to their size and were popular with operating crews. The
locomotives had a maximum speed of about 20 mph. Production lasted for
decades with relatively little change, finally ending in 1974. They
were the best-selling small diesel locomotives in America, and many were
exported to other markets. Over time, GE made various production
modifications, and numerous further changes were made by railroad shops
crews.Many are still in use today.
