The popular GE 25-Ton Diesel is now available as a completely battery-powered model with a pocket remote included. 8 selectable R/C channels allow running multiple locos independently, or controlling multiple locos together in one train consist – double-heading, triple-heading, or more! The remote gives simple and precise control of speed, direction and emergency stop.

Batteries are not included. Six standard size ‘AAA’ batteries (high-capacity rechargeables are recommended) allow for up to 2 hours running time. The quick-change battery clip is located inside the engine hood and the front panel snaps off for easy access.

With the “Clean Machine“ version of the GE 25-Ton diesel, PIKO introduces a completely new concept in track cleaning. Common household rechargeable batteries provide extensive running time. Track cleaning operation is simple – just turn it on and let it run around the layout till even heavily oxidized track is polished clean. Once the Clean Machine has cleared the way, track-powered locos can run smoothly!

Replacement 35416 Track Cleaning Shoes are available here.
