Jan-23-02, 10:50 PM (EST) "Another GP30 repaint?" I did this for my own use, but if anyone is interested, I can upload the package. Many thanks to Cameron and CLW for the model. Reading Company #5513 was the FIRST GP30 from EMD; and was delivered in 1962 - the first of 30 ordered by Reading. She saw both freight and fanrail usage until recently, when she blew a turbocharger. 5513 is now in storage at the Reading shops.The coaches are typical of the heavyweights used by the Blue Mountain & Reading RR. One of my favorite places during the '80s and early '90s. I can also upload these if anyone is interested.

I think this is the only Reading power that I've seen to date!With all of the eastern US modelers on the sim, it goes without saying that we're interested. That's one nice bit of work, and one that I'll be adding to my set.Take care! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.Henry Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jan-24-02, 08:53 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Another GP30 repaint?" Thanks for the kind words. I'll package up the engine and coaches and upload in the next couple days.
My next project is to repaint the PRR E8s (with pinstriping) and the "Blue Paint" 4-6-2 Pacific that the BM&R owned. I haven't figured out modeling yet, so I'm limited to repaints.

Jan-24-02, 09:55 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Another GP30 repaint?" Thanks Chris. Too bad that they do not have any current plans for excursion runs. Neither does the Reading Historical group. Too many regulations, and insurance is too pricey. (Not to mention repairs and upkeep.) Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Jan-26-02, 09:59 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Another GP30 repaint?" To all,
I've got all the files ready to go. After I finish the "Readme", I'll upload later today. Should be in the library by Monday? This engine uses either the GP40 or the SD40 sounds - both by NALW. Enjoy.
