GP30

Yes, he did! I have one I want to finish for GM&O (one day).

Beautiful!!!!  What company produced that high-nose version of the GP30?

Beautiful engine....looks to be an OMI?  Lionel just announced the release of a high nose GP 30 in 3R in 2 paint schemes. Apparently powered units only....at $600 I am going to wait for the dummies. The shell can be remounted onto an Atlas Gp-35 2-rail frame with some minor modifications. 

Wow! and wow!  All of these are beautiful! 

Whom did you use for painting, might I ask?  (you can email me on the side, if you wish)

Thanks,

That's a beauty, Bob. OMI?

That's a great idea! I have some older Proto-2 GP30's that I wanted to set up with fixed pilots and scale wheels. It's actually cost-effective to get some more scale-wheeled GP35's and go with your approach. I'm going to check it out since I have some GP35's already.

I really like the scenery.

Bob,

Not to discount the job done by your painter as it looks great, but as you are a top notch painter yourself, wondering why you didn't finish the piece?

Maybe there is room in  the future for MTH or Atlas produce and have a few runs of these GP series. I personally like the low hoods for UP and ATSF as they ran many through Cajon pass. I'd see many many hooked together, at least 6. Not like today with 2 engines in front and one drag. Imagine havine to buy 6 units for a train vs 3.

Bob,

Sorry to hear of your health woes. I have a couple cars that you painted and they are flat out great!

Simon

Whatcha got I did?

A couple of the Hobbyhill 10,000 gallon tankers.

Simon

Very nice.

I got lucky and got one of those a while back. no name on it as to the painter, but it is very well done.
