Ok I know this is dumb. Since I am debating wither or not to do a kitbash project based on the U28/25C. I know lionel make a U28C, but all I seam to find are Lionel catalogue pics. From the Lionel pics it looks very similar to the Lionel U30C.  So dose anybody out there own one and can you provide some four different view pics so I can determine if the Lionel version is not a U30C clone.

Thank you

Uh not quite suzukovich. There are several phases of the u25c that make that model unique and way different than a u28c- depending on the rr modeled. See the diesel detailer page under u boats -

Sorry for the delay, Getting all three kids and myself back into the school schedule. up at 600 am. Its been a rough week.  I looked at the three links. U25C, U28C, and U30C.

 

The lionel U30C appears to be Phase II which would be correct for CBQ( C&S)

 

The Lionel U28C appears correct for phase II. The issue is that I want to either Kit bash a CBQ U25C phase IIIb or a U28C Phase 1a or 1c 

 

U25C and U28C Total Length: 64'-06"

The U30C: Total Length: 67'-03"

What I didn't see in this thread was difference in length.

For Kitbash purposes. I can start with 2 Weaver U25B (Total Length: 60'-2") shells and with some surgery to the nose and body(insert 4 scale ft) It can be turned into a 25C PH IIIa or 28C PH 1a or 1c.

 

Chassis is different. but doing initial measurements I have a SD24 Chassis that will work. Now if someone can tell me that the lionel U28C is shorter in length (17") then the Lionel U30C (18") then that will make my life simpler. 

 

Thanks for the input.
