Thanks. Will definitely get some U25s from Rivarossi.
You won't, unfortunately, get some U25s FROM Rivarossi. Or from Hornby.
Manufacture of the models has ceased. Also unfortunately. Might start up again, someday. Ya never know.
However, you can probably find them at an auction site.
Be VERY informed that Rivarossi has made two VERY different versions of these. One might be called Rivarossi-AHM. The other Rivarossi-Hornby. The former is WAY older than the latter. The drive sucks. It's not a GREAT model, though when it came out, it was far better looking than any other HO diesel.
You almost surely will want the Hornby version. So "beware".
And, by the way, the AHM U25C is a phase II, while the Hornby is a phase III. Someone somewhere out there must have, by now, plopped the phase II AHM body on top of the Hornby drive.
