The 2601 model is missing the toilet vent pipe located on the short hood, fireman’s side. Very noticeable on the prototype. I am an engineer at NCTM and just ran this engine. Need photos? Measurements?
CR GP30's were also made up of former Reading GP30's, that were the 1st and heaviest GP30's built. The Indiana Northeastern also has a former Reading GP30 as well.
Yes, the merger did happen on 6/1/1982 but the 2585 was painted in Southern Dulux in the spring of 1983. Norfolk Southern had not decided on the paint scheme until N&W 4129 through 4132 were painted "Thoroughbred" in Roanoke. -Drayton
Nice locomotive model. Since everything is made of plastic Trinity's 6241 and 5851-cf no end cut outs plastic pellet covered hoppers is a must for us modern modelers. Tankers in the general service range of 25,000 -30,000 gallon range plus the banded candy colored 16,000-20,000 gallon cars including the panda bear Soduim Hydroxide one's would round things out.
Is there a road name line up for the next run? Looking for some anthracite region, GP30’s in a green and yellow scheme in the 5500 number class. A matching set of SD45’s with a bee logo would also be sweet.
Order placed for Cotton Belt 754. I love the as delivered SP/SSW light package! When you do your SP run can we get the 5000 series with the large SP on the nose? A full rear light package or a blanked off rear light package is fine. Thanks for doing these! @@Scaletrains
Why do the hobby manufactures just keep rehashing the same engine models, We have had nice GP30's for years now, How about an H-20-44 or a C415 or late versions of the H-16-44 or H-12-44 High hood late BLH road switchers would be nice as would a RT-624 as would an Alco S-6 or T-6
