Yahoo!!! The new Lionel catalog has the Southern Railway GP-30s with a short high hood!!!

The two numbers are 2594 and 2601. One is SRM and the other is Spencer. Wonder if Lionel had to pay for the rights to use these numbers? Also noted the N&W unit is 522, located in Roanoke.
Price seems high to me. For that amount, I got the MTH Southern ABA F7 set a few years ago. It is worth thinking about, though!
Yes Larry the price is a little stiff. But this is in fact the last engine on my want list. And if it is faithful to 2601 I will pay MSRP! But wish it was MTH with DCS to lash-up to my other Southern engines.
Just have to post a picture again.

Just one note - when NS painted this unit, they forgot the check letter behind the cab number. If Lionel uses these images, they might leave it off as well. The catalog shows the 2594 with the check letter. The 2601 should be 2601 J.
