                 It is an early Athearn Blue Box GE U-Boat. I am not sure if it is a U28B, U30B, U33B or a U36B. It is a first generation engine with the metal side frame trucks and the old style hand rail stanchens. Regards, John

                |  It's a U28b. The tip off is the overhang of the radiators. The one Mike posted looks to be a U30b, the U33 has larger radiators
